NÓS DUAS DESCENDO A ESCADA / TWO GIRLS DESCENDING THE STAIRS
BY FABIANO GRENDENE DE SOUZA (108 MIN., ENGLISH SUBTITLES)
Sinopse do filme: Adri e Mona são bem diferentes. Adri (Miriã Possani) acabou a faculdade de
artes, mas vive naquele limbo posterior à formatura. Entre a mesada dos pais e um bico numa
livraria, ela passa os dias esperando os dias passarem. Mona (Carina Dias) está no décimo
emprego como arquiteta. Mas além de rica, a garota é eficiente: é ela que sempre demite os
chefes e pede as contas. Enquanto Adri pensa em voltar para sua cidade natal, no interior do Rio
Grande do Sul, Mona conta os dias para embarcar para Nova York. Então, na escada de um
prédio comercial de Porto Alegre, as duas se conhecem por acaso. Um amor, com a cidade de
fundo e o vento soprando os dias. Entre a primavera e o inverno, entre o céu azul e as gotas das
nuvens, elas redescobrem que o cotidiano tem seus encantos. Nove meses, nove escadas, nove
estações do amor.
They’re complete opposites. Adri has an Art degree, but lives in that post-graduation limbo.
Between the allowance from her parents and her job in a bookstore, she spends her days waiting
for the days to pass. Mona’s on her tenth job as an architect. Not only is she rich, she’s efficient.
It’s always her that fires her bosses and moves on to new experiences. While considering moving
back to her hometown in a small city, she counts the days until she leaves for New York. Then, on
a staircase in an office block in Porto Alegre, they meet by chance. A great passion is born, with
the city in the background and the wind blowing the days away. Between spring and winter, the
blue sky and wisps of cloud, they rediscover that everyday life has its charms. Nine months, nine
staircases and nine seasons of love.
