this be another great film of 97year old portuguese director manoel de oliveira ( a legend . ) . it incredible how this director still creative be . his story be simple and deep . he demonstrate that with a low budget you can always do strong film and with good line . a mother take her daughter to a cruise trip through mediterranean sea . she teach her story and get in touch with three european woman and the ship captain . everyone speak his own language . that why it a talk picture and a meeting among people of several culture . the dialogue follow the everyday life . the film seem to be very calm and seem to tell simply a friendship story and until the final scene . where we remain totally surprised . a small and cultivated and poetic picture and from an european big director .
