Maria
1979, Portuguese. Directed by João Mário Grilo.
Leafing through a family album, filling memories and emotions centered on the charismatic figure of the grandfather, captain of a cod fishing boat. A personal landscape, breaking with reality—exposed in the allusive photographs—and the confluence of these two languages—one evocative, the other enchanting—through the Woman, a virtual character.
