Aroeira

A quiet, sun-warmed village hides a pulse of unease as a young mother returns to her homeland with a fragile past in tow. She seeks connection with a sister she barely knows, while a creeping sense of history unsettles the present. Layers of memory surface through small, intimate moments—shared meals, stumbling apologies, and the careful reassurances of friends who remember more than they say. As old wounds collide with contemporary longing, the film follows a delicate balance between resilience and vulnerability, inviting the audience to witness how love, duty, and truth reshape a family’s sense of belonging in a land both familiar and estranging.
