The Fortunate Ones

About This Movie

Set in the picturesque backdrop of the Algarve during the late 90s, 'The Fortunate Ones' gives us a profound look at resilience and connection. Milene, the protagonist, is portrayed with such a raw, genuine spirit, navigating both her affluent family ties and her bond with a Cape Verdean clan after her grandmother's passing. The film's pacing feels reflective, allowing viewers to soak in the atmosphere and Milene's emotional journey. The performances, especially Milene's, have a certain authenticity that draws you in. It’s that blend of cultures and the exploration of family dynamics that makes it stand out. Not flashy, but there's a quiet strength here that lingers.
