Why watch this film?

One of the most powerful Brazilian films of 2020, 'Casa' is one of those documentaries that make the viewer enter the filmmaker's life without shame, without filters. Here, in this case, we dive into the family of director Letícia Simões. She, from a daring proposal, allows the public to know a little more about her life and, above all, a little more about the life of her mother and grandmother. The first is a seemingly bitter woman with life and who faces a bipolar disorder. The other, meanwhile, seems not to understand the daughter's difficulties. From this, and with all the chaotic presence of the filmmaker in this complex family recipe, we follow the day to day of this trio of women who face the challenges of day to day and, above all, seem not to be afraid to look at each other, to reflect, to feel. A powerful movie, even more for all the concessions that Letícia Simões opens by exposing her life and that of her family like this. Filmão.
