Collective cinema viewing is back in Brazil

al film I've developed. At the same time, it's inspired by the book. It's the blend of all the layers that Marcelo portrayed in his book and the glimpses of memory that I had of my own adolescence.

Fernanda Torres' (who plays the mother) face is where your film truly resides. The impending doom seems to lurk in her expressions.

Marcelo's book is ignited by the fact that his mother was starting to lose her memory while, in fact, all the rest of her life she had fought to establish and revive that memory (of the 70s), and not allow it to be forgotten. He wanted to somehow do justice to that. And, at the same time, he had his first child who was forming memories. As he was writing the book, he understood that she had been the silent, central figure of the family for 30-40 years. The book is written with such freedom and honesty that it led us to try and find the same qualities in the film. It's told from the microcosm of family, but through her eyes. We know as much as she knows.

Did you deliberately cast a real-life daughter and mother-Fernanda Torres and Fernanda Montenegro-to play the younger and older versions, respectively?
