The Metamorphosis of Birds
DocumentaryDrama
Filmmaker Catarina Vasconcelos sifts through the memories of her ancestors. Her naval officer grandfather, Henrique, who married her grandmother, Beatriz, on her 21st birthday, spent extended periods at sea, leaving her with six children. This is the beginning of a generational saga.
VIBE
A deeply personal and poetic exploration of familial bonds and the enduring echoes of loss. It feels like sifting through old photographs, each image a quiet ache, a gentle reminder of lives lived and loved.
