The Sound that Goes Down to Earth

Maria da Luz waits for her husband who got lost somewhere in Angola during the war. With no news, she finds herself surrounded by families that, like her, desperately long for some kind of hope regarding their loved ones fighting abroad. She takes the matter in her hands and starts tape recording loving messages from each mother, wife and other family members. Carrying the tapes, she travels to Angola and personally delivers these messages to each and every soldier in a personal quest right in the middle of a country in war.

The Inability of Being Alone

Alice is 20 years old and has been living in confinement since she was born, when she was diagnosed with a severe combined immunodeficient disease. Her immune system is very weak, so the only solution to keep herself alive is to be in a safe and protected environment: her home. Fred (20) is his best and only friend and it is through her that Alice lives.

Blood Lines

Threatened by a fascist plot, the Portuguese government recruits several "special people" to stop the coup.

Uma Vida À Espera

The story of a man. Maybe two. A father who leaves home taking nothing with him but the mailbox and a suitcase. He sits on a garden bench, on the street, waiting for a son's answer. Every day he sends him a letter and every day he hopes to get a letter back. Every day he combs his hair, puts a tie on, and shaves to be ready to receive that letter by the time the postman passes by.
