The Metamorphosis of Birds / A Metamorfose Dos Pássaros

• Year2020
• Duration101 min

Beatriz married Henrique on the day of her 21st birthday. Henrique, a naval officer, would spend long periods at sea. Ashore, Beatriz took great care of their six children. The oldest son, Jacinto (Hyacinth), my father, dreamed he could be a bird. One day, suddenly, Beatriz died. My mom didn’t die suddenly, but she too died when I was 17 years-old. On that day, me and my father met in the loss of our mothers and our relationship was no longer just that of father and daughter."" - Catarina Vasconcelos

Visually stunning, a poetic voyage into our fragilities and human bonds, blurring frontiers between memory and dream.
