A Brazilian drama film centering on women’s experiences, crafted by female directors and writers with remarkable sensitivity. The initial scenes, though, are marked by a coolness in both the visual style and character portrayals, which leads to some emotional detachment. Just as things appear poised for a shift toward warmth, tragedy intervenes, plunging everything into shadow, bleakness, and darkness—a reflection of color choices in the cinematography mirroring the protagonist's journey. The story initially feels like it might be a predictable romance, but instead unfolds into something substantial, depicting with unflinching honesty the hardships and affections associated with motherhood, womanhood, being a single parent, navigating a career, confronting fear, offering unconditional love, and demonstrating extraordinary resilience. Monica Iozzi delivers an outstanding performance.
