Finally I got some time to make screencaptures to our gallery. The first movie is “Não Por Acaso” (Not By Chance), movie that was showed in last San Francisco festival.

Not by Chance tells the story of two control-obsessed characters: Enio, a supervisor at a traffic control centre, and Pedro, a snooker player who seeks absolute mastery of his technique. Both find fulfillment in life by submerging themselves in a mathematical mindset that leads them towards the feeling of control they long for. But all this is thrown to the wind one day when both Pedro’s wife and Enio’s ex-wife die in a car accident. Descending into the jagged world of his obsessive mind, Pedro despairs until he meets Lucia, a young woman with whom, in a parallel to his snooker techniques, he tries to re-live the same exact moments he once lived with his wife. Enio, on the other hand, is forced to confront his loss through the mysterious appearance of his unknown daughter, who forces a clumsy relationship with him by deciding to look after him. Eventually, however, the two men must decide between their own obsessions and the new opportunities life has given them.
