I was julio Bressane's assistant in Filme de Amor. We were looking for a location in the Love's House hotel in the centenarian Lapa district in Rio de Janeiro, when Julio touched the grimy time-worn walls and said: if we could hear all the stories that are bound within these walls we would observe a sea of stories, of lives, of feelings, of sounds. Listen, Bruno!” Interval and Survival.
