Aquarius Page #2

Synopsis: Clara, a 65 year old widow and retired music critic, was born into a wealthy and traditional family in Recife, Brazil. She is the last resident of the Aquarius, an original two-story building, built in the 1940s, in the upper-class, seaside Boa Viagem Avenue, Recife. All the neighboring apartments have already been acquired by a company which has other plans for that plot. Clara has pledged to only leave her place upon her death, and will engage in a cold war of sorts with the company. This tension both disturbs Clara and gives her that edge on her daily routine. It also gets her thinking about her loved ones, her past and her future.

Is Dona Clara going in?

Affirmative.

Affirmative -Copy.

I'm on my way.

Affirmative.

Hey, Roberval! Don't you think

that's a bit much?

No way, Clara.

Look at the sea, look

Nobody's in the water.

Go on, take your dip,

and come on out.Go on

We've talked about this

It's because you're important.

Who told you to be important?

Would you hold this

for me, please?

Clara!

Waist line!

41 years old. Plays perfectly.

Well, i'd like to...

...Start by asking you, ma'am

Sorry

You're writing a new book, and i see

a lot of physical media here, right?

Viny, records, tapes..

At a time when digital

media is taking over everything,

do you only listen to music

the old-fashioned way?

No, i listen to music

the old-fashioned way.

Let's, let's do something,

shall we?

Can we cut this short, so we don't

waste my time, or yours?

I'll explain the way i think,

generally speaking.

I like everything, alright?

mp3s, streaming,

if it's got music, it's good,

it's important,

And this whole

new technology thing.

Can i tell you a story?

Sure.

There you go. Did you get it?

Well, then..

This record, i bought in Porto Alegre,

at a used record store.

I leant mine to someone

and never saw it again.

Until one day, a quiet day,

a Sunday,

I opened the record to look

Look what i found inside,

-this article from the Los Angeles Times.

-That's awesome.

This article is from November,

1980, right?

This album, Double Fantasy,

was released in December 1980.

So, this article came out weeks

before Lennon was murdered

on December 8, 1980.

And i was born on December 21, 1980.

That's amazing. Check it out.

This article here, published weeks

before Lennon was murdered

and before you were born,

says the following:

''John Lennon's plans for the future''

This record, this record

I'm holding in my hands,

becomes a special object...

You see?

And you don't know who

owned it before?

Didn't i tell you i bought it

down in Porto Alegre...

...at a used record store.

I don't know who owned it,

all i know is it was bought in Los Angeles

and ended up in Porto Alegre,

I mean, i'm not even sure

it was bought in Los Angeles, actually,

and it ended up here.

Cool. So, digital media

it's fine with you?

This here is like

a message in a bottle.

-Good afternoon, Ms. Clara.

-Seu Geraldo, good afternoon.

-How are you?

-Fine

-Good afternoon.

-Good afternoon.

Ms. Clara, would you let us

have a word with you?

It depends.

If you're here to

discuss my proposal...

...for the acquisition

of the flat upstairs...

I did send you that proposal, but i never

heard from you, what a busy man you are...

Is this the reason of your visit,
