The House of Sand
Directed by Andrucha Waddington
Produced by Conspiração Filmes, Columbia TriStar Filmes do Brasil
A haunting, meditative portrait of a woman trapped by circumstance in an unforgiving desert landscape for nearly six decades, exploring themes of confinement, endurance, and the slow erosion of hope.
A woman is taken along with her mother in 1910 to a far-away desert by her husband, and after his passing, is forced to spend the next 59 years of her life hopelessly trying to escape it.
