Excerpt from The Creators Project interview with Krefer:
"The Creators Project: What is Julho?
João Krefer: Julho is the result of an ambiguous feeling I get from Curitiba, where I was born and have always lived. For a variety of reasons, I can’t wait to get out of there, but I cannot deny that I have established a home there, in the broadest sense of the term. The cold weather that lurks in the city has become an aesthetic issue for me. It’s part of my identity, even if only in an antithetical sense. Curitiba is a bipolar city, it has no middle ground.

I would even say that Julho is not a film about looking through the window, but looking at the window, the city out there as a backdrop for the morbid tranquility of the individual.
