ALMA VIVA

Like every summer, little Salomé returns to her family village nestled in the Portuguese mountains for the holidays. As the vacations begin in a carefree atmosphere, her beloved grandmother suddenly dies. While the adults are tearing each other apart over the funeral, Salomé is haunted by the spirit of the one who was considered a witch. Exploring one of the most powerful rising feminist discourses – that of witch hunting – this mesmerizing film with the sun-scorched cinematography deploys the power of magic realism to craft a coming-of-age tale like no other.
