"Pedra, peixe, rio" is a very personal film about childhood loss and estrangement, using a mixture of styles: part observational, part fictionalised reconstruction, and part oneiric fiction. Located in a slave-descendant community called Itamatatiua, the film follows the life of Ariana, a child in foster care, her stepmother Eloisa and filmmaker Iban, during a period of three years.
