Uncle Thomas, Accounting for the Days / Tio Tomás, a contabilidade dos dias
Canada, France, Portugal / Color / 13' / 2019
From the director’s personal and visual memories, a tribute to her uncle Thomas, a humble man with a simple and anonymous life. An acknowledgment of the fact that one does not have to be “somebody” to become exceptional in our life.
