If the Sea Had Balconies is a contemplative documentary that weaves a unique tapestry connecting Portugal, Brazil, and Africa through personal history and cultural echoes. The film's tone is reflective, almost somber at times, as it uses the fluidity of water to transition between memories and landscapes. The pacing is methodical, allowing viewers to absorb the visuals and the gentle flow of the narrative. The artist’s family photos are not just visuals; they’re emotional anchors that bring a personal touch to the broader themes of connection and diaspora. What sets this film apart is its use of water as a metaphorical bridge, which feels both innovative and haunting, creating an atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll.
