In a world where verbal discourse holds sway, Corpo A Corpo questions the primacy of words in fostering true understanding. Through a compelling interview with Elsa Valentim, a distinguished Portuguese actress and acting mentor, the short film navigates the nuanced realm where our bodies emerge as profound vehicles of expression, often communicating depths of meaning that elude verbal articulation.
