al film I've developed. At the same time, it's inspired by the book. It's the blend of all the layers that Marcelo portrayed in his book and the glimpses of memory that I had of my own adolescence.
Fernanda Torres' (who plays the mother) face is where your film truly resides. The impending doom seems to lurk in her expressions.
Marcelo's book is ignited by the fact that his mother was starting to lose her memory while, in fact, all the rest of her life she had fought to establish and revive that memory (of the 70s), and not allow it to be forgotten. He wanted to somehow do justice to that. And, at the same time, he had his first child who was forming memories. As he was writing the book, he understood that she had been the silent, central figure of the family for 30-40 years. The book is written with such freedom and honesty that it led us to try and find the same qualities in the film. It's told from the microcosm of family, but through her eyes. We know as much as she knows.
Did you deliberately cast a real-life daughter and mother-Fernanda Torres and Fernanda Montenegro-to play the younger and older versions, respectively?

MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS
On whether out-of-form players should play the last rounds of the Ranji Trophy I would always like everyone to play domestic cricket. That is how much importance domestic cricket needs to be given. Not only one game, if they are available and they have the commitment to play red-ball cricket, everyone should play domestic cricket. As simple as it can get. If you don't give importance to domestic cricket, you will never get the desired players that you want in Test cricket. On the future of Rohit and Virat I can't talk about the future of any player, it's up to them as well. But yes, what I can say is that they still have the hunger, they still have the passion, but ultimately as we all know whatever they plan, they will plan for the best interest of Indian cricket
