The Big Day
The wedding day is a big day for many people’s lives. For Rachel, Gislaine and Patrícia, it’s just another day of work. THE BIG DAY follows the actions of these wedding industry professionals – a make-up artist, a chef and a gown designer – as they navigate this industry with clients, employees and with each other. The film observes these women’s lifestyles and their beliefs. Through the juxtaposition of the clients' and especially the professionals' perspectives the film aims to explore the construction of femininity within this universe of consumption, ambition and tradition.
