The Way

Original title: Caminho

“Past is Present.”

João and his family set out on a day trip to Niterói, looking for a moment of peace. However, as the car moves along the road, a suffocating atmosphere begins to take hold. Through João’s eyes, the everyday encounters and microaggressions of racism start to manifest as supernatural haunts. In this chilling tale of childhood horror, the young boy's journey is shaped by invisible scars and a reality that bends under the weight of systemic violence. Where the road ends, the nightmare begins.
