An eccentric old woman dances to the beat of her own drum in Allan Deberton’s poignant debut feature. Pacarrete (the sublime Marcelia Cartaxo), a former ballet dancer who lives in northeast Brazil, decides to dust off her tutu slip and her ballet slippers to perform a classic dance for her city’s 200th-anniversary celebration--whether the townspeople want it or not. A broad comedy turns increasingly contemplative as the true nature of Pacarrete’s daily life becomes apparent. Spotlight Films Showcase.
