"Flashback" tells the story of Eusébio, an elderly resident in Vermoim, a small town in Vila Nova de Famalicão, Portugal. Eusébio was left behind by his family who went in search of better living conditions in Lisbon. What are we when all we have left is a memory?
In "Flashback" we meet Eusébio, an elderly resident in Vermoim, Vila Nova de Famalicão. Eusébio, lost in the haze of memories that remain of the family that abandoned him in search of better living conditions in Lisbon, learns to live again among aged walls and ghosts of the past.
With this film we seek to describe the theme of loneliness and abandonment of the elderly in a sincere and transparent way, giving value to the emotions of those who live or have lived it. In this work, through an intimate plot and family dynamics, we describe Eusébio's relationship with his family, including the relationship between the younger and older members. We intend to show how these colder relationships can affect Eusébio's personality, way of being and mental health.
Eusébio's somewhat unstable emotional and mental attitudes cause his grandchildren and daughters to become more distant. Consequently, not only in the story of the film, but also in reality, there are emotions and actions that come from a negative feeling generated by this type of behavior, something that can affect the future personality of the youngest, being one of the points that we will work on in this movie. We intend to pass on the importance of being aware of less common attitudes and behaviors among younger people.
Therefore, we are trying to get some financial support for the making of this film, as we will have expenses associated with hiring the cast, renting technical equipment, transport and food for the entire team, and also to acquire relevant objects important for construct the sceneraios.
Since we are starting our careers in cinema and, for that reason, don't have a big budget, we have to join all forces to create our film. Every help is welcome!
Thank you!
