Pequena Coreografia do Adeus

Her parents are apart but still at war: one cannot forgive the abandonment, the other cannot forgive the marriage. In a home with plenty of shouting and little tenderness, the young Júlia looks for a self of her own and a story she can tell, drawing closer to each parent and then pulling away in a dance that leaves its scars. Looking back on her early years and ahead to the future, she finds people who help her bear being alone.
