Mateus Carvalho

Mateus faithfully delivers mail and essentials to isolated communities along the Negro River, navigating the murky waters in his skiff before dawn each day. Living alone in a small riverside shanty, his peculiar ritual of marking dinnerware with his name showcases a blend of practicality and deep-seated anxiety. Faced with the responsibility of ensuring life's necessities reach their destinations, he is haunted by the subtleties of expression in others' hands when they speak, and the potential miss-deliveries that could alter lives forever.
