Synopsis
"Três" is the story of a family. A woman, Luisa, a man, João, a daughter, Vera. Even though the film is anchored in this triangulation, it is the female character's perspective, her way of perceiving her surroundings and the dilemmas of a life of three, that lies at the heart of the film's dramatic construction. How, then, to construct such a gaze? How to give shape to Luisa's feelings?
