Marissa is a twenty-something Portlander, disenchanted with her surroundings. Close to some overpasses she meets Lupe, an old Mexican immigrant, who is afraid to walk under the highways on his way to work. ‘I get overwhelmed with longing and my feet won’t obey me’ he confesses. A friendship ensues. It’s a story about finding meaning in people and places, of accepting our own humanity. Often when I drive through those places where superhighways collide, I’m filled with a deep sense of nostalgia. The Portuguese word saudade describes a similar feeling, ‘a vague desire for something that doesn’t and probably cannot exist; not a poignant sadness but an indolent dreaming wistfulness.’ This was the original idea for the script and the feeling that drives the film. |
