Fleurette

About This Movie

So, ‘Fleurette’ is quite an intimate documentary. It’s really Sérgio probing into his mom’s life, which is both brave and heartbreaking. You can feel the tension—her reluctance to open up adds a layer of complexity. The way the film unfolds is like peeling an onion, revealing layers of personal history intertwined with political undertones. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative at times. It’s not flashy, but that’s what makes it distinct; the authenticity shines through. You get a raw glimpse of love shaped by the struggles of life. The performances feel real, almost like a conversation rather than a staged interview. There’s a certain grit to it that stays with you.
