Director: Pocas Pascoal Writers: Pocas Pascoal, Marc Pernet Starring: Cheila Lima, Ciomara Morais, Wiliam Brandao, Vera Cruz All is far from well in All Is Well. Two beautiful Angolan sisters -- Maria (Cheila Lima) and Alda (Ciomara Morais) -- find themselves in Lisbon, awaiting their mother's arrival. Lacking documentation to live and work legally in Portugal, they must rely upon other African ex-patriots for survival. Unfortunately, everyone has ulterior motives for assisting the young women. At first, a seamstress seems to be their one saving grace, tipping them off to a local squat house, proving them with occasional meals and giving them much needed employment; but even the seamstress [quite inexplicably] turns on them. I understand that there are some bad people in this world, but writer-director Pocas Pascoal's perspective is exponentially more dire and hopeless than my own. (Admittedly, I never had to leave my homeland for fear of death.
