Trailer

Why watch this film?

Bia (Andrea Beltrão) is a woman who, during the birth of her daughter, has complications and goes into a coma. Decades later, when the girl is already in college and her husband (Eduardo Moscovis) has married another woman, Bia wakes up. It is from this point of rupture in a typical Brazilian middle class family that the story of the always competent Gustavo Rosa de Moura ('Canção da Volta') is focused on. Full of questions about behavior, time and memory, the movie talks about the importance of family - whatever it may be - and of affection, bringing an unexpected dose of affection within a movie with such serious and complex issues. Who steals the scene is Beltrão ('Hebe'), who manages to bring a strong dramatic load to her character even lying in bed.

20 years ago, Bia fell into a coma when her daughter was born, but that hasn’t stopped her from being part of the family’s daily life for all that time, even if she’s unconscious. One day, extraordinarily, Bia wakes up and causes a radical change in the lives of everyone around her. While she needs to relearn how to talk, walk and relate, her adult daughter, her ex-husband and his current wife will have to readjust to a new family configuration, much more complex and full of challenges.
