 House Of Sand | The A.V. Club
The film begins in 1910, with Torres as a miserable bride whose husband Ruy Guerra (looking like a half-crazed Kenny Rogers) is determined to settle on the blasted dunes of Maranhao, Brazil.
Torres and Montenegro struggle to escape, or alternately to build a life of sorts, but Waddington's abrupt leaps forward in time elide over many of the difficult parts.
And while his habit of enlisting Torres and Montenegro to play their own descendents says touching things about the continuity and connectivity of generations, it can be unnecessarily confusing on a first viewing.

 Film-Forward Review: [HOUSE OF SAND]
Wearing what once was their finest Edwardian finery, Áurea (Fernanda Torres) and her mother are stranded in the remote northern desert of Brazil after having trudged along for more than a month, without water, to occupy the land Áurea’s new and volatile husband has bought.
Real-life mother and daughter Fernanda Montenegro and Fernanda Torres subtly and clearly define their multiple characters: besides Áurea’s mother, Montenegro will play the older and resigned Áurea (circa 1940), and in the epilogue set in the late ‘60s, Maria, Áurea’s defiant daughter.
One flash of resentment from Áurea (here played by Torres) directed towards her mother succinctly conveys a whole backstory for the once wealthy woman forced into a marriage of convenience to an odious older man. If the casting is a conceit, it’s a conceit that cleverly works.
