About The Growing Stone
In this adaptation of Albert Camus' short story, D'Arrast, a French engineer, arrives in the remote town of Iguape to renovate an abandoned hospital. During the city's most important festival, the Bom Jesus procession, he meets a man who promised to carry a stone over his head after being miraculously saved from a shipwreck. Curious about the man's life, d'Arrast decides to help him fulfill this promise.
Directed by Matheus Benites, The Growing Stone leans on a strong ensemble — Mathieu Sintomer, Anderson Oliveira, Guilhermo Marcondes — 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 drama titles of 2023.
