Abstract
The present study intends to understand the socio-political context of Brazil in recent years, through the imagery built during the pre- and post-impeachment periods in Brazil. In this sense, this article aims to provoke reflections about the vestiges of quotidianity presented as metaphor and metonymy in the Brazilian short film Boy from the Five (Marcelo Matos de Oliveira and Wallace Nogueira, 2012), a film that presents the relation between two unequal worlds and border, that in the crossing of a pet dog has fractured social places. The methodology of analysis of this work is the comprehensive sociology (Maffesoli, 2010) using also the imaginary (Maffesoli, Silva) as theoretical support. The results show a parallelism between the film, with its indicial elements (grids, windows, barriers and squares) and the Brazilian politico-social scene carved by a mimicry - on and off the screen - of the imaginary of the political atmosphere in the country.Keywords: Cinema and vestiges of everyday life. Boy from the Five. Imaginary and political.
