Ninho de Rato delves into the idea of anti-music and how it permeates the lives of those who come from the margins, the slums, the corners that almost no one looks at.

Travelling the French Alps at 17 while coming to terms with losing my dad. Exploring ideas of faith through difficult situations, and how bad times can bring out the good in our lives, documenting the journey after losing a parent to cancer and the importance of art and creativity in our lives. Using "The New Life" as a new way of defining grief, serving as the name given to the life we are forced to live after losing a loved one, and a christian name given to Heaven.

Storage spaces are strange half-way points, full of pieces of different people, conflated. A place to meet a past on borrowed time, a place that swallows all the old versions of you and slowly digests them with dust. It becomes unclear which parts of this archive belong to you and what has folded into someone else. Indistinguishable forms and masses with a name on them, some sunbleached or broken, hold moments that you were only a partial witness to.
Between notes and photographs from a baby album, this short film investigates what lies outside the frame. Starting from the director's mother's written records and childhood images in which her presence appears only in fragments — a hand holding, an arm supporting, a shadow on the edge — the film proposes a reflection on absence and the traces left in the visual narratives of family life. By weaving together facts and fabrication, the work reveals how family albums function not only as repositories of memory, but also as coming-of-age stories, full of choices, silences, and inventions. Between delicacy and humor, the film questions who appears and who is erased in these stories, exploring the invisibility of care work and its discreet permanence in the materiality of photography.
