At Cannes, celebrated Portuguese directing duo Filipa Reis and João Miller Guerra debuted Légua—a movie about a housekeeper tending to an empty country estate…and the sacrifices she’s willing to make for work and friendship.

Reis tells host Rico Gagliano about turning the camera on her own privilege, the joys and challenges of tag-team directing, and an ’80s Portuguese pop track that’s one of the keys to her film’s main character.
