Winner of the Critics and Alfred Bauer awards (the latter for "opening new perspectives in film art") at Berlin Film Festival 2012, this romance is told in two parts shifting between contemporary Portugal and colonial Africa. "Aurora, an elderly Portuguese woman and her Cap Verdean housekeeper live next door to Pilar, who has made it her aim in life to do good. Not that she receives any gratitude for her efforts – and certainly not from the notoriously mistrustful Aurora, who prefers to spend her remaining years losing her meagre savings at the tables of Estoril casino. When the old lady dies, Pilar gets on the track of an old lover." (Berlin Film Festival)
