Trailer For Brazilian Director Davi Pretto’s Horror-Drama ‘Continent’ Drops Ahead Of Its World Premiere At The Munich International Film Festival

EXCLUSIVE: The trailer for Continent has landed ahead of the world premiere of the horror-drama at the Munich International Film Festival on Thursday. A Brazilian, French, and Argentina coproduction, the movie is written and directed by Davi Pretto.

A car weaves through Brazilian countryside and one of its passengers remarks that it looks like the South of France. “I think it looks sad,” replies the car’s other occupant, Amanda (Olivia Torres). It transpires she is on a journey back to the isolated village in which she grew up. Amanda’s father is dying, and as events unfold, she becomes involved in a strange inheritance linked to a mysterious secret held by the villagers.

“If I were you, I’d get out of here,” Amanda is advised as the tension builds. “This place is harming you,” someone else tells her.

Continent is Brazilian Davi Pretto’s third feature – and he has just completed his fourth, Future Future, which is in post. He directs from a script he wrote with Igor Verde and Paola Wink. Ana Flavia Cavalcanti, Corentin Fila and Breno De Filipo star alongside Torres.

The Portuguese and French-language film was shot in Brazil. Vulcana Cinema produces with Dublin Films, Murillo Cine and Pasto as copro partners. Italy-based Lights On has sales.
