The Lady of Chandor
Catarina Mourão
+Cal
Aida, an 80-year-old woman, lives alone in a forgotten mansion in a village in Goa. This documentary shows her daily struggle to care for this home that symbolises her identity and memory — which in turn are tied to the house itself. Determined that the building will survive the changes time brings, Aida faces up to decline with dignity, seeking to ensure that the house will outlive her.
