Director Statement

"Sinto saudades do que ainda não partiu." - I miss what I haven't lost yet.
Do you know the feeling when you realize that you're living the best years of your life right in that exact moment? In my opinion, it is a bittersweet feeling. The mixture between missing out what is still there and fearing that you're not enjoying it at its fullest can be difficult to handle.
That's basically what this film is about: preserving the memories that I was so afraid to miss and handling the "saudades" that they evoke in me.
