THE PINK CLOUD
 

Iuli Gerbase's Eerily Prescient Sundance Sci-Fi Opens in Select Theaters January 14, 2022

Including The Quad Cinema in NYC and The Laemmle Royal in LA

 On Digital/VOD March 1, 2022

Synopsis: 

Life changes on a dime when a toxic and mysterious pink cloud appears across the globe, forcing the world indoors immediately and indefinitely. In Brazil, Giovana (Renata de Lélis) finds herself stuck in her apartment with a man she just met (Eduardo Mendonça). But their carefree one-night stand grows into a years-long relationship complicated by a child and increasingly divergent worldviews as they try to imagine a future from the depths of a potentially never-ending lockdown. 

Written in 2017 and shot in 2019, this stunning, slow-burn sci-fi debut from writer/director luli Gerbase is both an eerily prescient reflection of our reality and a cathartic exploration of hope and despair, love and fear, and the boundlessness and limits of our ability as humans to adapt.

 “Nails lockdown life with aching, precise accuracy... Might endure as more era-evocative than many of the intentional pandemic dramas to come.” 

—Guy Lodge, Variety 

 “Oddly therapeutic… with thoughtful camerawork and surreal production design elements propelling its observations into spine-tingling familiarity.” 

—Tomris Laffly, Harper's Bazaar
