Aquarius (2016)

In the heart of Recife, Brazil, nestled against the rhythmic ebb and flow of the ocean, stands Aquarius, a stately two-storey structure from the 1940s. It's here that Clara, a spirited 65-year-old widow and retired music critic, hailing from a lineage of wealth and tradition, has made her stand. She is the last beacon of defiance in Aquarius, the final resident in a building otherwise vacant, its neighboring apartments hollowed out by the consuming ambition of a development company. Their eyes are set on Clara's cherished seaside home on the prestigious Boa Viagem Avenue, envisioning a blueprint that erases her existence. But Clara, with an iron will that echoes the timeless waves against the shore, has vowed to relinquish her place only at death’s door, initiating a silent, chilling war with the corporate goliath. This unyielding tension weaves itself into the very fabric of her daily life, unsettling yet fortifying her. Amidst this stand-off, Clara's mind wanders the corridors of her past, her relationships, and the uncertain horizon of her future. Her condo, an emblem of her resilience, becomes a stage where life’s drama unfurls with unflinching resolve. Clara isn't just living, she's thriving, and she isn't going anywhere. Dive into the vibrant, pulsating world of 'Aquarius' and witness one woman's fight to keep her home and her history alive against the tide of relentless progress.
