You don’t have to look much further than the definition of the title to understand writer/director Helvécio Marins Jr.’s goals with Querência. Its English translation is “homing” and actually does a good job at getting to the heart of its Spanish metaphysics. The former deals with an animal’s ability to return to a destination after being far away — like a trained pigeon. The latter goes deeper into metaphor, springboarding off its usage in bullfighting terms (the place a bull goes to feel safe within the ring) towards a psychological state of mind. Like the animal feeds on that specific spot’s comfort to draw strength, we as humans become energized in certain environments that helped shape our identity. They define us so we can preserve our most authentic selves.
