Synopsis

In a village near the Brazilian border with Uruguay, Nalu, 16, needs to take care of her blind father, Ruben, after the death of her grandmother. When Ruben realizes his daughter is becoming a woman, an ambiguous proximity arises between them.

Our take

Set on the geographical frontier between two countries, this family drama investigates the much less clear-cut transition from adolescence to adulthood. Nalu on the Border navigates this arduous territory with grace and insight, delving deep into the complexities of father-daughter relationships.
