About The Father's Shadow
When a child is forced to become the house's adult because her father is sick and her mother is dead, there's an inversion in the natural order of things. Childhood becomes a saga. And the frustrated parenthood turns into a conviction.
Directed by Gabriela Amaral Almeida, The Father's Shadow leans on a strong ensemble — Nina Medeiros, Júlio Machado, Luciana Paes — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2018.
