The River Remains the Same
O Rio É o Mesmo
“You can return to the river, but never to the same waters.”

After years away from home, Pedro returns to the small town where he grew up to visit his gravely ill father. As he struggles to mend a relationship long defined by silence, he finds himself reunited with his first love, confronting the memories and feelings he left behind. In the process, he comes to realize that the past is not a place we can return to, but something we carry with us, shaping who we become.
