Our take

Gracefully titled after a Pavese verse, José Luis Torres Leiva’s achingly intimate tale of rediscovery beats with the pulse of poetry. Blending dreams and reality, the Chilean director captures a miraculous rebirth of love on the threshold of death, luminously turning an end into a new beginning.
