My Castle, My Home

Guilherme is tormented by his tennis coach and some creatures with racket hands. They chase him through the corridors of his house, which has metamorphosed into a labyrinth. On the run, Guilherme looks for his mother because she is the only one who can put an end to his torment.

I was about 12 when I started to feel pressure from my athletic trainer. he wanted to make me a professional athlete. It was then that what was fun for me became an unpleasant obligation that I wanted to put an end to. I had to assert my will. Like this, there are cases known as that of ex-tennis player Andre Agassi, for whom tennis became a martyrdom due to the pressure exerted by his father: “I had a life that I did not want, I did something that I hated and that I had not chosen”. I see the film as a reflection on the relationship between parents and children and in particular a reflection on what parents want for their children, often forcing them into great torments.
