Synopsis

Original and poetic, A Família Dionti tells the fantastic story of a father and his two sons, Kelton, 13, and Serino, 15, who live on a farm in the countryside of Minas Gerais. The mother no longer lives with them, as she melted with love, evaporated and left. While every day he dreams of his wife's return with each rain that falls, the father takes care of his children with a watchful eye, worried that they may have inherited their mother's gift. But Serino is dry and cries grains of sand. And Kelton, when he first falls in love with a circus girl, literally liquefies with love.
