About the Film
A disillusioned young woman’s dreary life takes a surprising turn when a long-lost locket exposes family secrets, in this Brazilian dramedy brimming with warmth and whimsy. Jessica (Thati Lopes), laden by obligations, works at an antiques shop and has little time for herself. One day, she finds a locket identical to the one left by her late mother. Intrigued by its mysterious origins, she teams up with Gabriel (Rodrigo Simas), magnetic yet inscrutable, who might—or might not—be her cousin, to trace the locket’s history. They journey to Israel where they encounter comedic missteps, chance revelations, generations-old family stories, and ultimately reconnection with long-lost relatives.
