Screenings

Isabel (a lovely performance by co-writer Marina Person) is a respected sommelier working at a Michelin-starred restaurant in São Paulo. Increasingly frustrated by the conservatism of its owner, who doesn’t seem to want to follow her approach to choosing natural wines, she dreams of opening her own wine bar. What unfurls is an engaging drama about following your dreams, whatever the consequences.
