Lobo

Life goes on and change is inevitable – a fact that Aline must accept upon returning to Brazil following deportation from the UK. Faced with uncertainty about her future, family tensions amid a worrying drought, and the ailing health of her beloved dog, she must find a way to re-anchor herself to the home she left behind. Written and directed by Charlie Reader, Lobo is an exploration of life, death and identity.
