Clara, a vibrant former music critic, avid swimmer, grandmother, cancer survivor, willing lover and widow with flowing tresses, is the only remaining apartment owner in a gracious older building targeted for demolition by ruthless luxury high-rise developers. As the builders tactics to remove Clara, become increasingly hostile, Clara proves to be a force to be reckoned with. (Press release Vitagraph Films)

So weit der Kern, wo es dann dramatisch zugeht in einer Realität, in der die Gierigen mit harten Bandagen gegen die Nostalgiker kämpfen und umgekehrt. Darum herum aber ist sehr fein ein reiches Lebensbild gewoben, quasi: ein Fleckerlteppich aus brasilianischen Atmosphären und Tonfällen und Fragmenten der sozialen Wirklichkeit. Das ist ein Film, der so poetisch und prosaisch und vieldeutig ist wie die Wahrheit.

Christoph Schneider
