I Love You Where the Sunny Days Are

Mati leaves Brazil to be with Julia, her girlfriend, who has settled in a distant country where the light is thin and the cold seeps into everything. The reunion should feel like coming home, but instead both women find themselves unmoored: far from the sun, the language and the people who shaped them, they struggle to recognize who they are, and going back is no longer an option. Directed by Yasmin Guimaraes and starring Monica Maria and Maria Leite, this Portuguese-language short is a delicate portrait of love tested by displacement, where a couple must learn whether they can be each other's home when every other home has been left behind. Its title carries the film's ache in a single line, a love that belongs somewhere warmer.
