Portraiture and history, testimony and geography cohere to absorbing effect in Luísa Homem's interview-based micro-epic.

Homem strikingly weaves together interviews, archival photos, and home movies to arrive at a complex and immersive portrait of a modern woman perennially fascinated by the world around her and consumed by an insatiable hunger for knowledge.
