LUZ DA MANHÃ

Morning Light

Portugal. 2012. Color. 18 min. Ficción. 35mm.
  • Film Director: Cláudia Varejão.
This film closes a circle of three short films by on family (dis)encounters, where the roads don't always coincide. Everyday life hides larger and quieter forces and their understanding is often presented as a task too violent or even useless. It approaches the distance between three generations - mother, daughter and grand daughter. In a dense river that unites them, for no apparent reason other than exhaustion, a fissure emerges.
