WILD FRUITS recounts a series of episodes in the life of a fictional servant of French philosopher Michel de Montaigne, Jean Aurand, against the backdrop of the 16th century colonial expansion and religious wars. After Jean's return to France from Brazil, he meets Montaigne and develops an intimate relationship with him. One day while walking they stumble upon a group of time travellers from a distant future, on a mission that will change the life of these two men forever.

Bernardo Zanotta (1996, Brazil) is a filmmaker and visual artist based between Amsterdam. His work explores the fusion of the familiar and the fantastical, creating characters who often find themselves escaping daily life, venturing into parallel worlds, or confronting history by reshaping it to their desires. His work has been exhibited internationally at art venues, cinemas, and festivals, including the British Film Institute, EYE Filmmuseum, FID Marseille, BAFICI, Pesaro and Locarno, where he was awarded the Pardino d'Argento for his film Heart of Hunger (2018).
