There are Monsters in the Dark

Directed by Luís Pacheco

Synopsis:
On a farm in the north of Portugal, where the past and present mix, a mother and a daughter, in a fight for reconciliation, try to overcome the anguish that still torments them.

Director Statement:
A child does not have great responsibilities, as he is supported and sustained by his parents, which gives him a certain security. The adult must answer for his actions, but he has freedom and independence. The transition between these two stages of life is the young adult stage, which is marked by uncertain moments. In this moment of decision and discoveries, there is an attempt not to grow. Emotional difficulties are repressed. Grief and loss are difficult to move through and escape. However, it is necessary to seek support from friends and family. The courage to speak with others is what demonstrates true growth, when you try to explain what seems incomprehensible. “There are Monster in the Dark” tries to portray someone trapped in this limbo.
