About Prova de Fogo
As soon as Mauro, an Administration student, discovers a strong vocation for mediumship, he drops everything to go deeper and dedicate himself to Umbanda, a religion he embraces so strongly that it makes him give up his studies. Determined to open his own spiritist center, Mauro moves to the countryside.
Directed by Marco Altberg, Prova de Fogo leans on a strong ensemble — Maitê Proença, Pedro Paulo Rangel, Ivan de Almeida — 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 1980.
