An elderly Portugese woman in modern Lisbon in 'second childhood' mode has not long left for this world.
In part II, We learn more of her past life in Portugese Africa from her former lover, of whom her few surviving relatives learn on her deathbed.
Filmed in black and white, in a "square" aspect ratio, it's a tender and very good-looking film, with gilmpses of an original vision from this director.
A tad long perhaps, and the hints at colonial-era political unrest could have been omitted, but these small complaints in light of the overall visual strength.
