In This Room 2026

Directed by Ana Rocha de Sousa

In a world that seems to be falling apart, poetry, empathy, and music remind us of the urgent need to understand one another. Through fado and the distinctive voice of its most famous singer, Carminho, a glimmer of hope emerges across the landscapes of a Japan once devastated by bombings. The film follows the Portuguese artist on tour across the country. Through concerts, backstage moments, hotel rooms, taxis, silences, and whispers, the film weaves together the world of fado and Japan’s cultural landscape.
