A Greenhouse

Sinopse Original Original Sinopsis

Ella tem uma vida aparentemente perfeita: uma casa moderna, um marido atencioso e duas filhas pequenas. Contudo, uma forte atracção pelo florista do bairro coloca-a numa posição difícil, que a obriga a escolher entre ceder ao seu Desejo, ou preservar um casamento menos convencional do que parece.

Sinopse Internacional Sinopsis

A middle-aged mother grapples with sexuality and the boundaries of an unconventional marriage. Ella has a seemingly perfect life: a beautiful house, a loving husband and two young daughters. However, she is experiencing a strong attraction for the neighborhood florist. Her desire consumes her, and forces her to make the decision of either acting upon her urges, or preserving a marriage that may not be as conventional as it may seem.

Mensagem do Realizador Director Statement
Having come from a large, close-knit family, I have always been interested in its dynamics – how people find a balance, how they are more willing to accept their relatives’ flaws simply because of a strange bond that connects them all. More than anything, “A Greenhouse” is a film about family. About what it actually means to be a family. What are the “requirements”? Naturally I know my family well, and I understand the sort of compromises that are made tacitly to reach an equilibrium. But every family has its own set of rules and nuances, and that is quite fascinating to me. When developing the script, people would often ask me what I was trying to say – but I was not so much interested in saying, but rather, in asking. I wanted to investigate whether Ella’s family was, indeed, a “family”. I wanted to ponder what it really means to love someone, and how non-linear that might be. I wanted to question whether it is possible to truly love more than one person – and if so, how does that affect the family equilibrium? In a world where we are so quick to judge and apply labels, all these questions acquire a renovated interest and pertinence in me. My hope is that viewers of “A Greenhouse” will feel compelled to consider them as well.
