Bare Absence
  • Original Title: Os Ossos da Saudade

A poetic meditation on the invisible threads that bind people to those who are no longer near—physically or emotionally. Across five countries, voices echo the weight of absence.

The Bones of Longing -  Where memory lingers, presence is never truly gone

Told through the deeply personal accounts of individuals from Brazil, Portugal, Angola, Mozambique, and Cape Verde, this film explores the emotional landscape shaped by absence. Whether due to migration, time, or loss, these feelings reveal themselves in memory, imagination, and the places left behind.

As bodies move and time unfolds, landscapes become living testaments of longing, remembrance, and identity. A cinematic journey through stories constructed as much by what is forgotten as by what is held dear.
