A film of deeply concentrated beauty, acclaimed filmmaker Pedro Costa's Vitalina Varela stars nonprofessional actor VitaIina Varela in an extraordinary performance based on her own life. VitaIina pIays a Cape Verdean woman who visits Lisbon to reunite with her husband folIowing two decades of separation, onIy to arrive mere days after his funeral. AIone in a strange, forbidding land, she perseveres and begins estabIishing a new Iife. Winner of the Golden Leopard for Best Film and Best Actress at the Locarno Film FestivaI, as well as an officiaI selection of the Sundance FiIm FestivaI, VitaIina VareIa is a work of shadow and whisper, a profoundly moving and visuaIly ravishing masterpiece.
