Panorama 2026

Panorama Reality Check

Looking for a reality check? Whether it’s escaping a threatening home environment and entering a new world (“Gently”), grappling with family structures (“Our Walls”, “The Amazing Adam”), a revelation that alters the fabric of reality (“Ploo”), the fight for more women’s equal rights (“Virgin Fandango”), a traumatic event that casts doubt on one’s own behaviour (“Pinchu is like that”), or a supernatural encounter in a mysterious high-rise (“Dawn at Terezinha Building”): either willingly or unwillingly, the protagonists in the “Panorama Reality Check” programme find themselves confronting new insights, unexpected revelations and the limits of their own perceptions.
