A sensory journey through Porto in the 2000s, built from visual memories. Through the collection, manipulation and frame-by-frame animation of thousands of photographs drawn from many different lives, the film assembles a collective vision of a city suspended between memory and dreams — a city that no longer exists, or perhaps never existed at all.

There are many in-betweens in my film. The most relevant that are in the source material are essential to the film, they are their own Time and Space generators, they are what exists between each of the imagens.

A Christmas Song!

A woman wakes up early because she wants to give herself a gift: time. But each spark of inspiration is cut short by household responsibilities that demand her attention, the children, the laundry, the meals. The mental load of these tasks becomes unbearable, and she reaches a breaking point.

A fish looses itself from a sandwich and thus starts a graphical journey.
