About This Movie

The arrival of Valmir, a migrant worker turned handyman, really stirs the pot, bringing long-buried secrets to the surface. There's this palpable tension throughout, a sense that every quiet moment is just a precursor to something explosive. The cinematography captures the decaying beauty of the setting beautifully. Performances are solid, especially the nuanced portrayal of Marta, who grapples with her past and present. It’s not flashy, but the emotional weight is certainly there, and the pacing keeps you engaged, wanting to unravel the layers of these characters’ lives.
