Holly Jones Carolina Markowicz returns to the circuit to release her second feature “Toll” (“Pedágio”), cementing another world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival, this time in its Centrepiece strand, billed as championing “compelling stories, global perspectives,” before heading to San Sebastian for closing night honors in its Horizontes Latinos competition later this month.
Paris-based Luxbox handles international sales and has provided Variety with an exclusive first look at the riveting trailer.
After high praise for her feature-film debut “Charcoal,” Markowicz, among Brazil’s top-tier cineastes, returns with another compelling societal study, this time with an eye on a complicated mother-son relationship that leads to a keen understanding of just what people are capable of under the influence of their fragile, yet righteous, morality.
Produced by Karen Castanho, founding partner at Brazil’s Bionica Filmes (“Welcome Violeta”) with support from Globo Filmes (“Mussum, O Filmis”) and Maurício de Sousa Produções, the film follows Antonio and his mother as he struggles to get out from underneath her discouraging perceptions and far away from the zany conversion camp she insists on enrolling him in.
