A History of Mutual Respect

by Gabriel Abrantes & Daniel Schmidt, 2010

And time is a dictator, as we know it. Where does it go? What does it do? Most of all: is it alive? — Nina Simone

A playful yet serious meditation on friendship, competition, and carnal desire, cast against lush jungle settings and the modernist architecture of Brasilia.
