Wheels of a Giant

An eccentric theater director defies old age and the illnesses of the flesh by presenting a perspective of dialogue with eternity through art and its bonds. The poetic improvisation with Hugo Rodas, a Uruguayan multi-artist who established a unique trajectory in Brazil, has intimacy as its proposal. Catarina Accioly filmed the artist for four years, until his death.

Directed by Catarina Accioly, Wheels of a Giant leans on a strong ensemble — Hugo Rodas — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2023.
