Brazilian epic about 3 generations of women. A staggering portrait of love and survival and longing. The director apparently worked the two lead roles specifically for his wife and mother-in-law and they each play themselves, their young daughters and older mothers. Sounds complicated and it is, but it is perfectly executed.
Set in the early 20th century in the deserts of Brazil, sweeping landscapes are symbolic metaphors for the women's situation.
A gorgeous film.
