While taking a shower, Verónica Villarroel discovered that she had two throats—that was an accident. A friend advised her to go for an audition and she went even though her father was very sick—that was an accident too. When a filmmaker decides to devote all her skills to create a biography so transparent that the viewer cannot feel a filter between him and the character—this is not an accident. |

Carrapateira was the poorest town in Brazil back in 1969. NASA’s Apollo budget was the equivalent of 33,330 years of the town’s municipal budget. On July 20, inhabitants heard the news over the radio since there was no electricity, much less television. The filmmaker draws a meaningful contrast between the community’s fantasies and memories, and their reality. |
