In a photo-novel format, in which a succession of static images build a narrative with the support of the voice-over, “Estas Mãos São Minhas” is a love letter by André Miguel Ferreira to his grandmother. The pretext is one of the usual Sundays and Thursdays’ trips of his grandmother, with the most elegant clothes and the best perfume, to dance sessions, where, in this space of music and conviviality, married men hide their wedding rings and widowed women are looking for ghosts. And it is a particular ghost that really matters to the young filmmaker, for whom his grandmother cries silently and with whom sometimes she mistakes his name. This is a film about the loss, the longing, the time, the fear, the love and the immense strength of the women. (PC)
