Genesis

Directed by Marta Ramos and José Oliveira

With Marta Ramos and Marta Carvalho

Maria arrives in the countryside of Beira in search of Lídia, who had suddenly fled the big city. Lídia has a secret, and Maria discovers in what she sees and the voices she hears, what Juan Marsé reveals in The Spell of Shanghai: “Although we grow up looking to the future, we grow up always looking to the past, in search, perhaps, of the first enchantment.”
