Ô, DE CASA!
A documentary by Clarisse Alvarenga, MG, 2007, 70´.

The expression “Ô, de casa!”, used in rural areas as a form of requesting permission to enter a house, was appropriated as a name for this movie. Five small houses, that children and teenagers built spontaneously in unused public areas, are shown. These houses are located in the middle Jequitinhonha valley region, in the Imbirussú village, in São Sebastião das Águas Claras, and in Belo Horizonte. Each one of these houses is built with a different type of material; usually branches, banana tree leaves and building material. Each house has its own history: the unwanted visit of a boy; the possibility of founding a space for individuality; lunch prepared by the girls; and reconstructing a house that had been destroyed.
