Limite is a Brazilian silent experimental psychological drama film directed, written and produced by Mário Peixoto, who was inspired by a photograph by André Kertész. Limite was filmed in 1930 and first screened in 1931. It was restored from 1966 to 1978 from a single damaged nitrate print, and one scene remains missing. It is widely regarded as the first experimental feature film made. In a small boat adrift, two women and a man remember their recent past. They no longer have the strength or desire to live and have reached the limit of their existence.
