Heavier Is the Sky

Teresa, having taken in an abandoned child, crosses paths with Antônio on a sun-bleached highway. Two souls, bound by the invisible thread of a shared past, embark on a journey across the open road. Their common ground is the memory of a town now lying silent at the bottom of a reservoir—a ghostly homeland that persists only in their minds. While life feels like a fleeting dream, the future remains a vast, unsettling uncertainty. Each mile traveled is an attempt to navigate this ambiguity, to piece together fragments of their drowned history and forge a fragile, moving refuge from the fragments.
