OUR SECRET
Fiction, 103 min, 2026

A Black Brazilian family in the city of Belo Horizonte, tries to rebuild their home after a recent loss. Unable to express what they feel to each other, a mother and her children shield themselves from the pain of grief through their individual routines. Only the youngest child understands the secret that the house holds within its four walls and tries to reveal it to the others, only to fall on deaf ears. Finally, confronted with the truth, they face the deep roots of their grief and come together to traverse this moment with love and courage.
