Sinopse em Portuguese

Bia ficou vinte anos em coma, após o nascimento de sua filha. Durante todo esse tempo ela tem sido uma presença fixa, mas silenciosa, na sua família até que um dia ela finalmente acorda. Agora, Bia não só precisa de reaprender a falar e a andar; ela tem que fazer isso numa casa onde o seu agora ex-marido é casado com outra mulher e sua filha tem que aprender a se relacionar com uma mãe que não conhece. Este filme comovente mostra como nos readaptamos a novas circunstâncias e superamos os desafios que elas trazem.

El director Lucas Bambozzi estará presente en esta proyección.

Synopsis in English

Robots and machines have become sentient. They complain while talking about their own existence. They question who they are and what they’re doing, doubting whether they belong in the environment they inhabit. Choices and skills become interrogated, destiny and chance. The ontology of machines. The machines are sad.

Sinopsis en Español

Los robots y las máquinas se vuelven inteligentes. Se quejan mientras hablan de su propia existencia. Cuestionan quiénes son y qué están haciendo, dudando si pertenecen al entorno en el que habitan. Las decisiones y habilidades se interrogan, el destino y el azar. La ontología de las máquinas. Las máquinas están tristes.
