Director Kiko Goifman always knew he was an adopted son, but at the age of 33, he decides to go off in search of his biological mother. As from clues from detectives in São Paulo and Belo Horizonte, the film maker made a film based on the on-line diary he wrote in the search. Blending in various kinds of films – amongst them, film noir – the director did not leave out the feelings involved and included his adoptive mother in the search. 33 goes deep into the peculiar universe of detectives who are in quicksands between what is legal and what is illegal, public and private. The film also includes the reaction of the public who followed along with Kiko Goifman’s diary on internet, that proved very important in the entire process.
