FLEURETTE
by SÉRGIO TRÉFAUT | 2002, 80’, documentary | prod. FILMES DO TEJO | distribution FAUX
A poignant family story. Do we know the people closest to us? Do we want to know them? Sérgio tries to understand the troubled past of his mother, Fleurette, 79 years old. Notwithstanding her resistance to his questions, little by little, throughout the film she reveals almost another life where love is closely related to politics. From occupied France and Nazi Germany to the Brazilian dictatorship and the Portuguese revolution.
