ABYSSAL FISH is a creative film in the border between fiction, real and performance through the artistic work of Luís Capucho. A singular artist who survived the time when the HIV represented the death stigma. Building an amazing work of poetic power postdisease, Capucho surpasses the physical sequels that have left him mute and without part of his body movements for a while, until the current partial recovery.
In this disarming and personal documentary, Gonçalves explores precisely what it is that is wrong with him. His physical disability is obvious, but doctors have never managed to provide a diagnosis. As he undergoes a series of tests, he paints a picture of his life today and looks back over his past, assisted by a vast collection of VHS videos, for which he sometimes provides commentary to explain the context.
