“What Dwells In Me” is a documentary about three peripheral artists from São Paulo (Brazil), directed by Del and Larissa Zaidan.

They immerse themselves in the artists’ daily routine during this period of social isolation, in order to understand how the creative process takes place at this moment and what feelings and questions they are going through.

Lay, 29 years old, for example, is a rapper from Osasco, a municipality in São Paulo. She lives with her grandmother in a house and says that she has come to understand much more the connection and similarities that she has with her mother and grandmother in this period of extreme coexistence.

Mackaylla is a drag queen from Brasília who came to São Paulo a few years ago trying to live in art.

They are new and independent talents trying to find their spaces.
