O último banho
The Last Bath
Forty-year-old Josefina (Anabela Moreira) has embraced the certainties of a life dedicated to the church and is just a few months away from taking her perpetual vows. But then she receives news from her family home in the Douro region: her father has died, her fifteen-year-old nephew Alexandre has been left with nobody to care for him. Josefina at first struggles to reconcile her religious calling with her duty to her family. But gradually nephew and aunt connect with an unexpected level of intensity. The first feature from multi-award-winning short film director David Bonneville, THE LAST BATH is a tonal conundrum which confronts the audience but largely refuses to judge its characters.
