Central Station

A young boy looking for his father finds an unexpected accomplice in a grouchy spinster stranger, who has lost touch with all humanity. They come together under tragic circumstances at the Central Station, where the lady is a professional bitch of a letter writer. In their journey across the country, the inevitable happens - the lady warms up to the boy and vice-versa. The movie is funny and captures the beautiful barren parts of Brazil. The city of Rio also reminds one so much of Bombay. Solid.
