Synopsis

In a Brazilian coastal town, Paula strives to build a swimming pool in her humble beach house. While Paula has to deal with financial issues, her young teenage son gradually drifts away from her.

MUBI's take

Made with the celebrated production collective Filmes de Plástico, Thais Fujinaga’s sun-soaked drama was singled out as best debut feature at São Paulo Film Festival. With subtlety and sensitivity, the luminous film traces a woman’s efforts to carve out a corner of tranquility from everyday life.
