Perpetua 664

2001 · 79 min

A quiet, personal journey through grief and memory, intimate and slow, like listening to a voice you never thought you'd hear.

Overview
Six years after I left my country, Brazil, I was sent an old sound reel in the post and I discovered a recording of my parent's wedding ceremony. I was twenty-six. It was the first time I'd ever heard my mother's voice as she died when I was a year old. I was terribly moved and I decided to go to Brazil.
