perpétua saudad (2026)

A reserved pianist mistakes caution for maturity, cocooning herself in the comforting lie that there’s always more time to chase her dreams. *Olívia* examines the strange paradox of fear dressed up as protection, and the invisible burden of every path not taken. Set against the melancholic pull of Chopin’s Nocturne, the story unfolds in heavy silences and restrained movements, exposing the growing distance between two souls: he embraces risk as the only way to truly live, while she freezes in place. A chance meeting in a café reconnects her with a former love—now on the verge of leaving for Austria, standing at the threshold of a life-changing audition.
