To metamorphose two pass you

Catarina Vasconcelos, 101 ', Portugal, 2020

Beatriz and Henrique got married the day she turned 21. Henrique, a naval officer, spent long periods at sea. On land, Beatriz, who learned everything about the verticality of plants, took care of the roots of her six children. The eldest son, Jacinto, is my father and he dreamed of being a bird one day. One day, suddenly, Beatriz dies. My mother did not die suddenly, but she died when I was 17 years old. That day, my father and I faced the loss of our mother and our relationship was no longer just that of father and daughter.
