Winner of the Un Certain Regard Award at Cannes, depicting the lives of two sisters in 1940s Rio de Janeiro—a time and place that trained women to be invisible in the eyes of society.
"Euridice, 18 and Guida, 20, are two inseparable sisters. They live at home, and each has a dream: becoming a renowned pianist or finding true love. Because of their father, they are forced to live without one another. Separated, they will take control of their destiny, while never giving up on their hope of being reunited." (Cannes Film Festival)
