About the Film

The lives of two women intersect in Viviane Ferreira’s beguiling film, set in São Paolo, Brazil. Silvia is a young medium and a market researcher struggling to make ends meet while awaiting the results of a public exam. Jerusa is a gracious 77-year-old lady who bears witness to daily life in Bixiga, a neighborhood that brims with ancestral memories. On Jerusa’s birthday, while she waits for her family’s arrival, an encounter between her deepest memories and Silvia's mediumship allows the two of them to travel through time and their intertwined histories.
