Road to Heaven

Original title: Estrada para o Céu

“A mother and her son trapped in their own cycles of escapism and dream, never connecting with each other.”

Directed by Pedro Vaz Simões

In a small apartment in the city, a mother and her son live their own secret and silent routines, sharing these not even with each other. They would like to spend time together, perhaps even talk to each other, but he grows up with animals and planets, whereas she is always elsewhere. The long and circular days push them further inside themselves, but maybe the spark of an unexpected connection can still set them free.
