takes its title from the name of its lead starlet, a Cape Verdean woman who, based on common with Costa's non-professional actors, plays a fictionalized variation of herself. Vitalina first appeared in an episode in the supervisor's previous movie, Equine Cash (Wavelengths 2015), where she stated just how her other half had actually left their homeland almost 25 years ago to operate in Lisbon - a splitting up that became permanent when she lastly showed up on the continent, three days after his funeral service. In , Costa refracts and broadens that episode to put us firmly within his heroine's patient perspective, catching her remarkable toughness and strength as she browses the scanty physical traces her other half left, finds his secret, illegal life, and also runs into the other lives that dim the darkness of the Fontainhas that when was.
