Cláudia Varejão at IFFR

  • Amor fati

    These intimate, at times almost magical, portraits of soulmates prove that love comes in all shapes and sizes.

  • Luz da manhã

    On a summer’s day, a mother, daughter and granddaughter’s care-free day trip comes to an abrupt end. Beautiful and restrained.

  • Um dia frio

    The morning in Lisbon starts for each member of the family in their own way. Yet they are linked together. Beautiful acting by the four protagonists.
