Closer to the animal
Closer to the animal is one of the most talked-about Documentary movies released in 2025, attracting audiences with its cinematic storytelling and memorable performances.
Marta Cardoso, a young dancer from northern Portugal, moves through Lisbon with restless energy, between precarious routines, affections, and a daily life in constant imbalance. Dance becomes her refuge and her cry: a space where the body finds freedom and instinct, and where gesture replaces words. When dancing, she feels close to her inner animal.
