Two friends confront their deepest fears to survive a phenomenon that has turned humanity into beings as hard as statues.
What puzzles me is, why you, Martina and me? What do they want from us?
The city is ours. Everything is ours. We can do whatever we want. The power is in our hands. The power!
Nothing makes sense. This city, full of things, leaves me feeling empty. Where is our expanding universe?
A Brazilian classic, reimagined for the world.
Blackout adapts Blecaute, the classic novel by Marcelo Rubens Paiva, whose memoir I’m Still Here inspired the film that won the 2025 Oscar for Best International Feature Film.
Set in São Paulo, the project pairs a compelling survival premise with universal themes of friendship, desire and freedom. Combining literary recognition with the audience appeal of speculative suspense, Blackout is being developed for international co-production and distribution.
