Director: Julia Murat
Cast: Sonia Guedes, Lisa Favero, Luiz Serra, Ricardo Merkin

BuzzNot much is known about first-timer Julia Murat other than her origins at Rio de Janeiro University. Premiering in Venice Days, so she must have some kind of distinct rigour to land in such a prestigious and selective sidebar.

The Gist: “Relays life in the Paraíba Valley through the fictitious village of Jotuomba, a place lost to the world, abandoned by the railroads and inhabited by an aging population that has forgotten what it’s like to be young…Moments of magic realism illuminate this gentle, poetic film about a forgotten time and place — a film in which one can delight in getting lost, if just for a little while.”
