'Brazilian drama The Pink Cloud, writer-director Iuli Gerbase's uncannily prescient debut, has accidentally made what could well be the definitive fictional statement about the experience of Covid-19 lockdown.' - Jonathan Romney, Screen International
'This sounds like a nightmare to watch during a pandemic, but The Pink Cloud is haunting and riveting in the best way. It acutely diagnoses a mental state that will feel startlingly familiar.' - Alissa Wilkinson, Vox
Iuli Gerbase’s debut feature is an eerily prescient sci-fi parable, made entirely pre-COVID, about a global threat which forces the world’s population to stay indoors. The threat in question is a mysterious and deadly pink cloud of unknown origin which is life threatening for anyone who comes into contact with it. Strangers at the outset, Giovana and Yago are on a one night stand when the lockdown begins but as years pass, Yago creates his own utopia while Giovana feels trapped deep inside. A dreamily compelling psychodrama.
