Mulher do pai

16-year-old Nalu is tired of her drab existence in the sleepy little Brazilian village on the Uruguayan border she calls home. If she could only move away, just a few kilometres even, to somewhere more lively! But she's tied down for now, especially after her Grandmother passes and she has to look after Ruben, her blind laconic father. Hope enters the picture when Nalu begins to get to know art teacher Rosario better. She can confide in her – at least until Rosario starts to shift her attention to Ruben. Suffused with a subtle corporeality, in calm, atmospherically dense images, the film tells the story of a young woman torn between family obligation, a longing for intimacy and the search for a life of fulfilment and independence.
