Synopsis:

Catarina Ruivo's André Valente is the poetic evocation of a difficult moment of childhood, the moment when you realise how lonely adults are and experiment that loneliness. The main protagonist, André, lives alone with his mother who has been depressed since his father left. He has a friend called Susana, but one day she moves away. He makes friends with his intriguing neighbour, a Russian guy who goes on strange errands every evening, carrying a big sports bag, but he, too, eventually goes away.

When young Andre's dad takes off, and his only friend Susana moves away, he enlists the help of his next-door neighbour, a Russian immigrant, to help him cope with his depressed and suicidal mother.
