(Vanda)

Content: Vanda, a woman of rigid routines, navigates through her solitude while observing Luanda and its inhabitants. Her life is divided between work and moments of introspection within the comfort of her home in the city. Between consultations, Vanda deals with patients facing various issues: a couple in dispute, a young woman seeking her mother's approval, a mysterious man who remains silent throughout the session, and a deeply depressed woman. On the paved streets of Luanda, Vanda confronts poverty, pain, and suffering with a direct gaze and also recognizes the resilience and joy that emanates from the city's diverse figures. At night, her home is her refuge, a space of safety. During the day, this same space is inhabited by her maid, Luísa. The disappearance of a cat and Vanda’s interactions with Luísa reveal the complexity and intimacy of her private world, contrasting with her responsibility of tending to the emotions of others.
