Paulo Rocha's haunting second feature, Change of Life, tells the beautiful and deeply felt story of a young man, a veteran from the war in Angola, who returns home to his remote fishing village to discover that his former sweetheart is now married to his brother. Inspired by his work with Manoel de Oliveira, Rocha "cast" the local villagers as themselves, interspersed with experienced actors led by the great Isabel Ruth. Subtitled.
