Ekedji, aquela que cuida offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of Ekedji Soraia, intertwining personal memory with the rich tapestry of Candomblé. The documentary captures her profound relationship with Mãe Celina, a pivotal figure in this spiritual community. The pacing is contemplative, allowing viewers to absorb the nuanced rituals and responsibilities that define Soraia’s role. It's not just about the practices but the emotions tied to them; the warmth of the community, the reverence for orixás, and the intimate care for the casa. Visually, it’s compelling—there's this earthy quality to the cinematography that feels very grounding. The performances, though understated, resonate deeply, reflecting a sincerity that’s hard to shake off.
