Upon encountering a young girl in tears, Kafka learns she has lost her beloved doll. To console her, he crafts a tale: the doll has gone on a journey, and he shall be the bearer of letters recounting her adventures. Though it's uncertain whether the story truly occurred, it stands as a remarkable testament to fiction’s and human empathy’s power to heal. “The First Loss of My Life” plunges into a poetic universe where cinema and theatre converge through the letters of a lost doll. Shot within the Galpão Cine Horto theatre, the film seamlessly melds both art forms in a dreamlike exercise of fantasy and imagination.
