AINDA O ÚLTIMO JUDEU E OS OUTROS
Ainda O Último Judeu E Os Outros (2016)
Daniel decides to summon his mother, Judite, and his father, João Victor, to a meeting in a place in the environs of the city, outside the comfort of home. Núria, his girlfriend, follows him. He has been, since always, obsessed with the tragic history of the Jews - his grandmother, the mother of Judite and living in Holland, suffered as a child the loss of her parents, both Jews, in a situation that definitely marked her and they were later murdered in the extermination camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau - Daniel doesn’t rest until he confronts Judite with a time that she doesn’t accept to remember and, above all, doesn’t want to assume through maternal blood. João Victor tries to ease the dispute without, however, succeeding. The place of the encounter - a dirty and abandoned warehouse where hunters go by and which they call it "Bosque Motel" - is visited in passing by Nelse and Arlete, a good-humored couple, precisely, of hunters, who will witness the intense and brutal situation, eventually unwittingly contributing to an unexpected outcome.
