Laura Afonso

When her mother dies, 40-year-old Helena now has time for herself after years of taking care of her family. She works at a film production company, dances boisterously, gets drunk. A quiet film about letting go morphs into a coming of middle age story.

20 years later, Jorge Campos returns to film Nadir Afonso, this time in the privacy of his house in Cascais and, once again, in the immensity of Trás-os-Montes. In O Tempo Não Existe breathes the day by day of a man who turned 90 years old and continues to make painting and reflection on it the raison d'etre of his existence.
