Synopsis
After the loss of his wife Ana, the forensic photographer Fernando becomes a quiet and introspective man, who raises his son Daniel by himself. Every night, while the boy sleeps, he recalls his love by organising her personal belongings: he irons her dresses, arranges her shoes. One day as he watches one of her VHS tapes, he is struck by seeing her with another man. Fernando decides to get to know his wife's lover, who ruined the image he had of her.
Aly Muritiba's first feature-length film is a dense psychological drama about the path of an unsettled love that unfolds between mementos of the past. It grabs hold of its audience in a relentless suspense that pushes it to the question on how to deal with loss and deception, how to face feelings of hate and though to forgive. Muritiba shows outstanding directing skills and is an emerging talent to be watched.
