In the 2025 edition of Clarice’s Hour, we will celebrate, through the voices and presentations of kids, the children’s story “Laura’s Intimate Life,” published as a book by Clarice Lispector in 1974. In this film, six children retell, act, illustrate, and co-direct the story of Laura the hen, her husband Luís, and their son Hermany in Dona Luísa’s henhouse.
The short film is the fruit of work that took place during the 2025 school year and involved professionals from the Literature Department and students from the Rio de Janeiro municipal school system, combining education, literature, and art, in three stages. In the preparation phase, each child received a copy of the book (donated by the publisher Rocco) and participated in a shared reading activity; next, they discussed the story with their parents at home; and in the third stage – which was creative and artistic – they acted out a few passages from the story and illustrated three scenes. These are the drawings that bring color to the film in a unique retelling of the story of Laura the hen.
A vida íntima de Laura (Laura’s Intimate Life) was conceived by Bruno Cosentino and Eucanaã Ferraz, directed by Laura Liuzzi and Bruno Cosentino, edited by Laura Liuzzi, produced by Bruno Cosentino, and supported by the Rocco publishing house.

In the interviews done by Clarice there is a sort of unsuitableness for the job with respect to journalistic technique. With Vinicius de Moraes, her first approach sounds like a provocation: “Vinicius, have you really ever loved anyone in life?”
