CGiii Comment
Vivid dreams and ghostly visits from Brazilian director João Vieira Torres’ grandmother compel him to explore the stories of the women in his family, many of whom were victims of violence. With intimate family conversations, haunting photos, and his coming-of-age story, João traces his journey to uncover a tragic legacy. In the process, he weaves a poignant, powerful narrative of generational trauma and the triumph of love in the face of Brazil’s racism and sexism. – Karen McMullen
