The prismatic colors of Portugal in 1982 contrast the tensions that are the pulse of this film. 10-year-old Vasco is caught between childhood's wonders and adulthood's miseries. His mother is struggling to stay afloat, social pressures keep him from knowing his father, and he simply wants to understand it all. Nolen Strals - Screening Committee
