<p>“The physical, emotional and cosmic unite in Andrucha Waddington's powerful The House of Sand&hellip; magnificently renders a fresh view of life on planet Earth.” - Variety</p> <p>This epic drama plays out on the sandy plains of northern Maranh&atilde;o where three generations of women live out a story filled with profound emotions, from despair to fulfilment. They grapple to find their place amidst the encroaching desert and the relentless march against time. Real-life mother and daughter - and two of Brazil's most widely regarded female actors - Fernanda Montenegro and Fernanda Torres, share the roles of the main characters as they age and mature, and new are characters introduced, over the 59 years of the film's narrative. </p> <p>“Dessicated desert textures permeate the senses as marvellous performances from Montenegro and Torres place human intensity at center stage. The House of Sand is a profound portrait of passing generations and establishes Waddington as one of the most exciting directors in Brazil today.” - Sundance Film Festival</p><p>
