A Cidade onde Envelheço
Brazil/Portugal
2016 Drama
1h 39min
Original language: Portuguese
At the request of her mother, Portuguese expat Francisca welcomes old friend Teresa into her Belo Horizonte apartment. Both are nearly thirty, and find themselves at a crossroads, one created as much by the Portuguese financial crisis as their individual personalities. While Teresa eagerly embraces the rhythms and openness of Brazilian life, Francisca still desires to return to Portugal. Through largely improvised dialogue, Rocha's beautifully shot film deftly explores their relationships to themselves and their surroundings.
