Elena moves to New York with the same dream her mother had: to become a movie actress. She leaves behind a childhood spent in hiding during Brazil’s military dictatorship and her teenage years amid theatre plays and homemade videos. She also leaves Petra, her 7-year-old sister. Between acting classes and auditions, Elena faces a reality very different from what she expected. Two decades later, Petra also becomes an actress and goes to New York in search of Elena. She only has a few clues about her: home movies, newspaper clippings, a diary and letters. At any moment, Petra expects to find Elena walking in the streets. Gradually, the features of the two sisters are confused; we don’t know one from the other. When Petra finally finds Elena in an expected place, she has to learn to let her go. Elena - the film/ o filme opens May 30th at IFC Center, NYC.
