Retrato

Synopsis

The director questions his parents about their private life, past and present. They belong to a generation marked by misery and oppression, where marriage was "until death do us part". Although they are seen frequently together, they answer openly but alone. It's a portrait of identity, origin, memory - a stunning black and white intimacy.
