O ESPELHO LENTO

The Slow Mirror

Portugal. 2009. Color. 23 min. Ficción. Vídeo.
  • Film Director: Solveig Nordlund.
It is about a teacher from Lisbon called Carla and her teen age daughter who is gravely ill. One day on a visit to Barcelona Carla discovers an unusual mirror in an antique shop in one of the old sectors of the city. Instead of returning the images right away this mirror retains them for four years or more - it's a slow mirror. Carla brings the mirror back to her daughter as a present and it changes their lives in mysterious and poignant ways. It becomes their porthole to the past.
