CENTRAL STATION | CENTRAL DO BRASIL
Dir. Walter Salles, 1998, Brazil, 110 min.
Trailer

Dora, a retired teacher, makes a living writing letters to illiterate passengers in Rio de Janeiro’s crowded central train station. Cynical and distant, her life takes an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with Josué, an energetic nine-year-old boy whose mother tragically dies just after dictating a letter for him. Unwillingly, Dora is drawn to the child’s difficult situation and embarks with him on a cross-country journey to find his estranged father.

Central Station was awarded three prizes at the Berlin International Film Festival – the Golden Bear for Best Film, the Silver Bear for Best Actress to Montenegro, and the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury – and went on to earn two Academy Award nominations in 1999: Best Actress in a Leading Role (Montenegro) and Best Foreign Language Film.
