Loosely inspired by renowned Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa’s poem, “I am nothing. I’ll never be anything. I couldn’t want to be something. Apart from that, I have in me all the dreams in the world,” the film portrays a teen living with her first-generation Portuguese parents in France is caught up in her contradictions, failures, and unconditional love for her family. After reconnecting with a childhood friend during her annual summer holiday in Portugal, she finds the courage to choose the path of freedom and the unknown. Sponsored by the Boston Portuguese Festival and the Camoes Institute.
Speakers: Director Laurence Ferreira Barbosa and José Rui Velez Caroço, Consul General of Portugal in Boston.
