Where the Cranes Fly
Throughout her life, Matilde sought to escape the oppressive memories of her childhood. As soon as she came of age, she left the Alentejo region where she grew up for a Lisbon full of opportunities.
In the capital, now an adult, she has built the life she dreamed of: she has her own business and lives with her husband and two children, far from her childhood traumas. However, a violent succession of events and decisions made at the wrong time threatens to destroy Matilde's family, and the only solution is to return to the past.
The return to her parents' home and their difficulty in dealing with a granddaughter with autism spectrum disorder and a son-in-law they consider incompetent will test the family's resilience. The impact of this reunion with her parents — and with other people from her past — will lift the veil on painful memories that Matilde has always tried to forget.
