film profile], writer and lead actress Marina Person and director Gabe Klinger, to talk about their warm, quietly precise film, screened in Berlinale's Panorama.

Restaurants, tastings and intimate conversations form the film’s understated rhythm, where wine functions not only as motif but as catalyst for self-reinvention. The director and actress discuss the film, which grows from small gestures, everyday details, quiet decisions – and is about trying, creating, failing, and starting again without drama, a portrait of a woman defined by movement rather than crisis. They also tackle the story of how producer Rodrigo Teixeira joined the project, worth listening to.
