Why watch this film?
The movie is about a woman (played by Vanessa Gerbelli, famous for telenovelas on Globo and RecordTV) who, since she was young, suffers with entities that she can see but not understand. All this to debate current issues, such as depression, the indiscriminate use of black labels and wrong diagnosis of pathologies. The feature film bears the signature of Wagner de Assis, who has explored themes of the spirit doctrine in the cinema - including titles such as 'Nosso Lar' and 'Kardec: The Story Behind the Name'. When watching 'Amor Assombrado', those who do not believe in kardecism will see the story of a writer who is tormented by her own characters. Those who believe will see an abusive love that goes far beyond this plane. The cast also features Carmo Dalla Vecchia.

A Menina Índigo
"A Menina Índigo" directed by Wagner de Assis tells the story of Sofia, a child with special abilities belonging to the Indigo generation. Her biggest wish is to reconcile her parents, even if it means changing their lives completely. The film portrays the struggles of a family trying to understand and cope with Sofia's unique abilities while dealing with their own personal issues. The performances of the cast are outstanding, especially the young actress playing Sofia. The cinematography is beautiful, capturing the essence of Brazil's natural beauty. Overall, "A Menina Índigo" is a heartwarming and thought-provoking film that will leave a lasting impression on its viewers.
Kardec
Director Wagner Assis, of "Nosso Lar" and "A Menina Índigo", returns to the spiritist doctrine - but this time, with a historical account. "Kardec" tells the story of Hippolyte Léon Denizard Rivail, better known by the pseudonym Allan Kardec, famous for codifying, systematizing and spreading the doctrine in mid-19th century France. The biography is extremely well-intentioned and well-directed, made to please the spiritist community or those seeking to learn more about kardecism - although, as a film, it lacks greater involvement between the viewer and the characters, since the protagonists were portrayed as historical figures placed on a pedestal.
Chico Para Sempre
Twenty years after the death of Chico Xavier, we have the release of 'Chico Para Sempre', a production that brings the life and work of the medium. Directed and scripted by Wagner de Assis ('Nosso Lar'), the documentary has more than 50 interviewees, documenting known events and other unpublished ones about Chico Xavier. An essential production for those who want to know more about him and also for those who already follow the work of the religious.
