Loneliness, Survival, Hope, Anguish, Despair, Adaptation – A Tale of Missed Dreams
In 1910, in Maranhão, the insane Vasco de Sá moves with his pregnant urban wife Áurea (Fernanda Torres) and her mother Maria (Fernanda Montenegro) to a wilderness land near a lagoon and surrounded by shifting dunes. Sooner his workers abandon the place, and Vasco dies, leaving the two women alone and without any resources. They are supported by a local son of a former slave, Massu (Seu Jorge), and they learn how to survive creating goats. Along the years, Áurea raises her daughter Maria (Camilla Facundes), hoping to move back to the capital someday. Her hope becomes anguish and despair as years go by, until her final adaptation to the place.

“Casa de Areia” is a beautiful story of hope and missed dreams. The first point to call the attention of the viewer is the wonderful landscape where the story takes place. The wind is so intense in the beginning that I need to put subtitles to understand the dialogs. The cast is leaded by two icons of the Brazilian cinema, the awesome Fernanda Montenegro and her daughter, Fernanda Torres. The story is engaging and depressive, showing the phases of loneliness, fight for survival, hope, anguish, despair and adaptation of Áurea. In the end, as a kind of consolation, she is informed by her daughter that the man reached the moon and found nothing but sand. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): “Casa de Areia” (“House of Sand”)

Outstanding Cinematography!
I am looking at cinema from a new perspective and I am enjoying films that have great cinematography even if they don’t necessarily have a good story. The cinematography in this film was magnificent and, as a bonus, it had a great story also.

The basic story takes place over 60 years. It begins when a husband brings his wife and mother-in-law to a desert portion of Brazil. He builds a house on sand, and the escaped slaves that lived in the area told him the house would sink.

The wife (Fernanda Torres) wants out immediately, but the husband refuses. He dies and she keeps trying to get out, but her mother (Fernanda Montenegro) doesn’t want to leave. Soon she has a daughter (Camilla Facundes) and 10 years go by. She has a chance to leave, but her mother dies in the sinking house and she briefly loses her daughter. She settles in with one of the slaves and 20 more years pass. Now, she (Fernanda Montenegro) has a 30 year-old daughter (Fernanda Torres) who she wants out. Did you get that cast switch? The mother becomes the grandmother and the daughter becomes the mother. Don’t worry, it’ll happen again.

She finally gets the daughter out and she returns years later (now she is Fernanda Montenegro). I hope I got all that right.

It really is better than I described it. It is about dreams and wished and lost opportunities, and what’s important. And, it has great cinematography.
