Future Brilliant - Dreams persist where hope feels like resignation

This insightful documentary paints an intimate portrait of a family caught between determination and despair. Abílio’s visit home reveals the daily life of his sister Gisele, a quadriplegic woman whose dream is to pursue postgraduate studies and become an English teacher.

Her ambition radiates strength, yet the environment around her echoes with resignation: in Jundiaí, promises made often dissolve into silence, and opportunities are as fleeting as ghosts.

By blending personal testimony with the atmospheric texture of a city weighed down by unkept hopes, the film asks how individuals can nurture dreams in spaces where progress feels perpetually deferred. It is both a story of personal resilience and a mirror of social neglect.
