Saudade. How to illustrate nostalgia
This short experimental documentary will guide us along the soft fingers of the feeling of “Saudade”, the Portuguese word that defines the longing for someone or something in a profound state of melancholia.
Through the testimony of Elias, a Syrian refugee in Berlin, we slowly touch the ropes of the Saudade and are gradually transported to the steps and gestures of two actresses, that, through a sequence of images, path the internal journey of this feeling.
How closely can one relate to a stranger pain through emotions or memories that are not shared in time and space but reflect a similar emotional skin?
