Rita is fifteen and spends the summer between warm afternoons of teenage love and party nights with her friend Sara. From Portugal to the South Pacific, the pleasures of this routine will take a turn when the young girl visits the art show of a new neighbor in the local community.

En un país europeo en crisis, Portugal, un director se propone construir ficciones a partir de la miserable realidad que le rodea. Pero incapaz de encontrar sentido a su trabajo, huye de manera cobarde, dejando su lugar a la bella Sherezade. Ella necesitará ánimo y coraje para no aburrir al Rey con las tristes historias de ese país. Con el transcurrir de las noches, la inquietud deja paso a la desolación, y la desolación al encantamiento. Por eso Sherezade organiza las historias en tres entregas. Comienza así: "Oh venturoso Rey, fui conocedora de que en un triste país...". Libre adaptación de 'Las mil y una noches' ambientada en el Portugal de hoy, y dividida en tres películas. (FILMAFFINITY)

Pai do João (voice)
João is an indolent young man, whose life is desperately empty. Day after day he goes through the motions of duplicating keys in his tiny shop concealed in the basement of an obsolete nearly deserted shopping center. Some day, he hopes, the lady of his heart will come and order the key that will unlock his heart. Against all expectation, the miracle happens...

A 2008 short made in accompaniment with Our Beloved Month of August, documenting Gomes's and his crew's hapless search, during 2007's carnival, for one of Arganil's most storied and elusive characters (who does, in fact, ultimately appear as an interviewee/player in the finished film). Paulo "Miller" is known for taking a dangerous jump into the Alva from a bridge each year during carnival, but what this film is about is, in keeping with the free-roving feature, much less the subject himself than Gomes and co.'s inability to pin him down; not only does he not do his famous jump during this year's carnival, but an ostensible technical/audio failure (as with the feature, it's very difficult to say how much of this film is "fact," how much invented) during Gomes's initial on-camera meeting with Paulo "Miller" leads to five minutes of lip-readers attempting to decipher their conversation.

El “Cántico de las Criaturas”, luminoso y pletórico poema, fue escrito por San Francisco de Asís en 1224, cuando estaba a punto de quedarse ciego. Poema que mueve a un trovador que recorre hoy las calles de Asís, y que empieza a nacer en los bosques de Umbría en 1212.

After finishing his MA in Anthropology, Hugo spends his days giving his brain a rest from the endless reading of texts by unknown authors. His only company is Luisa, the cleaning lady, with whom he plays cat and mouse. To escape the sleep of reason – which creates monsters -, Hugo exercises his lyrical vein by writing, with his friend Manuel, songs about their neighbourhood. The quiet dilettantism of our protagonist is shaken by Catarina, a young and beautiful translator who’s starting her professional life as a freelancer. Hugo is hooked and wavers. High above, a kestrel falcon hovers. It’s not the only bird of prey that can do it.

Francisco, behave! I Know it's your birthday, you are thirty now, it's carnival, you've dressed as a cowboy for the school party and you are surrounded by kids you hate. But that's no reason to be so annoying... Francisco, repeat after me: "Up to your 30s you have the face God has given you. After that, you get the face you deserve".
