The Daughters of Fire

Imagina 2023 / As filhas do fogo / Portugal 2023

The Daughters of Fire The Daughters of Fire

Synopsis

Cape Verde as the setting for the archetypal tale of three sisters, who were separated by the eruption of the country’s “Peak of Fire”, the volcano Pico do Fogo. Left to the quirky imagination of Pedro Costa, however, the dramatic contours of the story swiftly crumble. A molten cinematic performance, engulfed by an inner flame, which sometimes warms us, while at other times it burns us.

Martin Horyna
