Summary

(PT 2020, Rodrigo Areias / Walter Hugo Mãe, Bando à Parte, 79 mins)

“In a rural setting, an old man is told his dead wife was seen at the market. Spiteful and sad, he chooses to hide away from the rest of the world. However, his friends insist that he shouldn’t listen to hearsay. They say he should try to recover and, who knows, even remarry. It’s a story about the delicateness of old age, of what is still left to dream and love when you reach this life stage and the body weakens. It takes place in an ancient and hidden Portugal that still exists in spite of our efforts of modernization.”
