About This Movie

Ah! das coisas. "Nos quartos das freiras não há espelhos." is a fascinating short film that emerged during the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic. It's got this intimate and haunting quality, driven by Adília Lopes' poignant verses that linger in your mind long after watching. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, which complements the themes of solitude and reflection—or the absence thereof. It's interesting how the lack of mirrors in the nuns’ rooms serves as a metaphor for self-perception and confinement. There’s a raw, almost fragile atmosphere throughout, reminiscent of those quiet moments one experiences during introspective times.

This film is part of the Gestos & Fragmentos platform's unique collection that showcases short works birthed from the pandemic's quietude. Its scarcity lies in the elusive nature of its distribution, primarily available through select digital platforms. Collectors interested in niche, experimental cinema with a poetic touch may find this piece particularly compelling, as it reflects a moment in time that resonates with many but remains under the radar.
