Gloria (1999)

Overview

Gloria is set against the backdrop of a rural landscape slowly disappearing in modern Portugal.

Its stationmaster, Vincente, is preparing to retire. Many young people have moved out, leaving the children to be brought up by the elderly, including thirteen-year-old Glória and her friend Ivan. Glória's life suddenly changes with the arrival of Vincente's younger brother, Mauro, who has just come out of prison and has some old issues to settle.
