Found Memories

The film centers on the character Madalena, who is tasked with baking bread each morning, and Antonio, who prepares coffee. Their daily exchanges are filled with playful arguments but culminate in shared moments over coffee outside his shop. The church bells mark the rhythm of village life, calling everyone to mass and reinforcing the sense of community.

As the story unfolds, the arrival of Rita introduces a new dynamic to the established routines of Jotuomba.
