Vira-Lata

About This Movie

Vira-Lata is a quiet yet haunting exploration of grief and familial struggle. It captures the raw emotions of Odete and her daughters as they navigate life after the loss of their patriarch. The pacing is measured, allowing you to really sit with their sorrow and disarray. Suelen’s absence looms large, especially for Suelen, the middle daughter, who feels out of place in this new reality. Sara, the youngest, adds an interesting layer with her apocalyptic beliefs, creating a sense of childlike desperation amidst their financial worries. The performances are palpable, bringing a gritty authenticity to their challenges. It’s that kind of film that lingers, with a distinct atmospheric weight that resonates after the credits roll.
