A NATUREZA DAS COISAS INVISIVEIS
The nature of invisible things
a film by Rafaela Camelo
Brazil – Chile, 2025, 90’
NATIONAL PREMIERE
v.o. Italian subtitles
School holidays have just begun for Gloria, who spends her days at the hospital where her mother works as a nurse. The arrival of Sofia, there to accompany her ailing great-grandmother, disrupts her routine. Their bond takes them on a bittersweet journey through loss, farewells, and quiet discoveries about life.
As their friendship deepens, Gloria begins to question what she truly understands about life and death, realizing that adults don’t always tell the whole truth. With a keen gaze on the protagonists across generations, the film becomes a delicate, unsentimental portrait of sisterhood, empathy, and vitality.
