Desesterro

In Vila Marta and Vilaboinha, two invented towns of poverty and hunger, Maria de Fátima bears on her skin the marks left by the generations before her. Her story is told by many voices, through dreams and imagined photographs, among them a girl without a name and a weary grandmother. Time and place shift freely, and the telling moves between waking life and dream.
