Balaou
(Portugal, 2007, 77 minutes)
A young man grieving for the death of his mother accepts to sail with a French couple from the Azores to Lisbon. Captivating, homemade documentary whose inability to articulate its different segments doesn’t really get in the way of the simple enjoyment of its sensitive construction and handling.
Directed, produced, shot and edited by Gonçalo Tocha; soundtrack by Dídio Pestana.
