The End of the Endless

O Fim do Sem Fim is a feature documentary film that has as scenery the approaching demise of some jobs and professions in Brazil. It composes an immersive picture about the creative geniality and the resistance to new cultural forms and technological trends. By discussing the finality and the expected end of some processes involved in some handiwork nowadays, the substitutions that contemporary life promotes are discussed with great originality by the professional workers. Experts in not-very-useful activities, in the film they play their own roles in real life. Using metaphors and a play on fiction and reality, the experts are portrayed in different ways. Some of them are introduced with no further interference while some are presented in a more elaborated form. At the end, the work draws a curious picture about several inheritances and so many different references that makes what is supposed to be a Brazilian being. Reinforcing an anthropophagic view of such a culture, the film does not stick with any homogeneous resource or uniform aesthetics. The work tends to strength the concept that the talent and originality of Brazilian people is to reinvent themselves from being oppressed by any form of cultural imposition.
