To understand the IMDB metrics, one must first understand the narrative. Catarina and the Others follows the life of the titular character, Catarina (played with raw vulnerability by Maria João Bastos). The film is set in contemporary Lisbon during the height of the European financial crisis. However, unlike films that focus on political rallies or stock market crashes, this story zooms in on the psychological fallout.
