House of Sand, The

A mesmerizing, foreboding landscape dominates this poignant, heartrending story in which a pregnant woman (Fernanda Torres) is forced to move with her foolish husband (Ruy Guerra) and elderly mother Maria (Fernanda Montenegro) to a stark and isolated desert region in northern Brazil in 1910, but after years of trying to escape her predicament, she eventually finds peace and a home with a kindly widowed fisherman (Seu Jorge) among the ever shifting sand dunes.
