João Salaviza : 2015
Mountain
A hot summer in Lisbon. David, 14, awaits the imminent death of his grandfather, but refuses to visit him, fearing this terrible loss. Meanwhile, his mother, Mónica, spends her nights at the hospital. The void already left by his grandfather forces David to become the man of the house, where he lives with his three-year-old sister. David doesn't feel ready to assume this new role, but without realising it, the more he tries to avoid adulthood, the closer he gets to it. João Salaviza's feature debut premiered in competition at Venice International Film Critics' Week 2015.
