In Chapéu Mangueira, Sueli stands at the centre of a house full of children, grandchildren and neighbours, constantly repaired and filled with music, humour, fear and tenderness. As gunfire marks daily life and losses accumulate, she cares, scolds and comforts. Staying close to the family, “Saudades Eternas” observes how affection and resilience persist where life remains continually precarious.
