Gugu’s World

Gugu wants to be a footballer. He lives with his grandmother Dilma, who is slowly losing touch with reality due to dementia. Gugu wants to stay with her for as long as possible, because there he can let his imagination run wild with face paint and fancy dress. Gugu is completely himself when he’s with his grandmother, and their close bond shields him from the disapproval of his father and their small community. As Dilma becomes more vulnerable, Gugu tries ever more determinedly to protect their open-minded little world.
