In the short film “Lola&Mami e um Fragmento de Amor t”, Resem does not hide his cinematographic aspirations and dares to use the downtown nocturnal urban aesthetic, navigating a very dark but also caricatured theme, reflected in strong colors inventing landscapes on the faces of the characters, “dead” portraits of human fragility and lack of affection. And it offers us an ambitious “character study” about a somewhat vampiric middle-aged figure, a policeman on the night, incapable of empathy. And his coldness is well demonstrated in his relationship with the women he exploits. Lola's antagonism clashes with Mami's elegant melodramatic character, played with courage by actress Ana Júlia. This film reveals a realistic vision of the Angolan man, transformed here into a delicious but bitter caricature of the big shot with power, a jerk full of apathy, with a heart screaming for tenderness. Resem paints a portrait of masculinity at its worst, without falling into a shallow and categorical speech, before trying to highlight the ambiguities of the human soul, and Lola's antagonism leads to the reasons for his instability, which ends up transforming him into a mascot. of an institutionalized profile.
