In “Liquid Truth”, a single point of view is imposed with no concern for contradiction: swimming teacher Rubens allegedly kissed a student in the changing room. The story is told by the student to his mother, taken to the administration of the club where Rubens works, shared on social networks by outraged parents and turned into a police case, originating a network of versions and their consequences for those affected. Convictions are called into question all the time, in an age permeated by circumstantial facts, post-truth and fake news. Winner of four categories at the Rio de Janeiro International Film Festival and nominated for the Brazilian Cinema Grand Prix in the best director category.
