Our take
This bittersweet, genre-bending debut feature tells an intimate coming-of-age story against the vivid backdrop of political exile under a military dictatorship. Punctuated by epoch-defining music, _ Deslembro_ explores the struggles of forgetting and the deep bonds of family in 70s Rio de Janeiro.
