Alma Anciana

About This Movie

Alma Anciana weaves together three poignant stories from Portugal, Austria, and Cuba, creating this deeply human tapestry that explores the lives of the elderly. The film's tone is reflective, almost haunting at times, capturing moments of vulnerability and resilience through the eyes of their grandchildren. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the audience to fully absorb the weight of each struggle, each quiet joy. Practical effects are minimal, yet the raw authenticity of the performances truly stands out—there's an unpolished honesty to how these characters navigate their daily realities. It’s distinctive in its approach, blending cultures and generations while shedding light on universal themes of aging and familial bonds in a world that's often chaotic. Definitely something to ponder over after viewing.
