Clara is a retired music critic, a passionate lover, widow and grandmother with lively black hair. She is the last resident of 'Aquarius', an elegant seaside development built in the 1940s, and while her neighbours have already sold their flats to a determined private property developer planning to erect luxury flats, Clara refuses to leave her home. The enterprise doggedly tries to convince her, but Clara's resolve to stand up to the goliath hardens every day.

Cold Tropics

It’s been seven months since Recife, the former tropical city, has seen the sun shine. The temperatures plummeted, the days are cloudy and rainy. The scientists stay pragmatic, the population needs to adjust to new conditions. In the mockumentary by the director and film critic Kleber Mendonça Filho this unusual climate crisis unveils the absurdity of the existing social and economic order.
