Best Feature Documentary
Nhora documents the everyday life of her elderly mother, also named Nhora, who is gradually losing her memory. The film explores their daily routines: shared meals, simple habits, and the small, everyday gestures of love that form the core of their bond. This intimate portrait of aging is disrupted by the arrival of the pandemic, which not only complicates the possibility of continuing to film but also puts Nhora’s health at risk. Time and distance force Nhora to find new ways to continue the documentary, which ultimately reveals a universal truth: death is the only certain destination in life, and the process of accepting it is a journey filled with uncertainty. Goodbye Nhora not only documents the final years of a mother’s life, but also offers a profound reflection on love and memory.
