Surprise

Surpresa (Surprise) is a short documentary animation made using a recorded conversation (that is, not acted, not rehearsed, not scripted…) between a mother, Joana, and her three-year-old daughter, Alice, who is recovering from kidney cancer. They both talk – openly and frankly – about the illness, their present circumstances, struggles and successes.
