(Historias que so existem quando lembradas). A young photographer drifts into the tiny Brazilian village of Jotuomba, charming the elders with her camera and learning the fine art of baking bread in this disarming meditation on memory, aging, and letting go of the past. Director Júlia Murat has cited Jia Zhang ke’s Still Life (SFIFF 2008) and Hirokazu Kore-eda’s After Life (SFIFF 1999) as models for her film’s similarly deft blend of fictional and documentary elements, to which she adds Caravaggio-like interiors lit only by oil lamps (in brilliant work by cinematographer Lucio Bonelli) and a palpable affection for her characters and their otherworldly bit of Brazil.
