What it is
Walter Salles's 1998 Brazilian drama follows Dora, a retired schoolteacher who writes letters for illiterate customers at Rio de Janeiro's Central Station and, embittered, often discards them instead of mailing them. When a customer named Ana is killed in an accident, Dora reluctantly takes responsibility for her young son Josué and travels with him into northeastern Brazil to look for his father.
