Roots (Raízes, 2015) Director: Andre Bem-Haja Synopsis: Grandpa’s house is the gathering place for a big family. Grownups come and go, either working or resting. The children settle in. The four cousins, separated by an ocean during the year, spend the summer together. They get used to each other’s company, get angry, get fed up with each other, and share cultures. They laugh, bustle, bath in the pool and have snacks under the sun. Tears are only shed for a bleeding leg or a missing toy. The daily routine of four children growing up unknowingly. A mixture between fiction and documentary that portrays an unreachable peace for the grownups, left with nostalgia of a bygone childhood. |
