José Paulo Santos

The death of a loved one reminds us of how ephemeral life is. Who has never heard at a funeral the expression “We we have to meet under other circumstances?” Happy circumstances, of course!

This is a story about love, which collides with acceptance and self-knowledge. What does time tell us? Two young people made a promise of love. What started as a joke, intensified. However, the encounter to which they had faithfully committed for a long time, became a faint memory. This woman, while waiting, questions the past, her choices and decisions, which allows her to discover the power of time.

A Portuguese documentary film.

In 1965, a modernist building was built in the city of Vila Real, Portugal, by architect Nadir Afonso. Many memories are made of a bakery that once produced 80,000 loaves of bread a day. The authorities turned their backs on Panreal, contrary to countless stubborn citizens. The condemnation and the controversy went hand in hand.
