“A lovingly and lyrically told fantasy that explores themes of class and sexuality, handling its tonal shifts with a deftness as light-footed as its female-centric cast”~Meredith Taylor, Filmuforia

Aroview: A genre-defying Portuguese film which artfully blends social satire and horror to tell the story of a nanny called Clara, who works for Ana, a wealthy pregnant woman in São Paulo. As the connection between the two women deepens, Clara begins to discover that Ana acts strangely whenever the moon is full. A deliciously dark drama in which themes of race, class and wealth are intertwined in a lycanthropic fairy tale.
