We see things from the perspective of several bottles of wine, witnessing the chaotic events unfolding at a house party.

We follow the catechesis sessions of the 4th grade children from the Parish of Santo António de Moscavide. They reflect and learn about the Catholic religion. Some of them, however, are also preparing for an important moment: the First Communion. We observe their preparations for this celebration, and try to understand their perspective and that of their classmates regarding this new stage of their religious lives.

A girl helps her brothers get rid of the body of a man they murdered by accident.

At Casa da Achada we find a community of people from different contexts that gather daily to celebrate the art and the memory of Mário Dionísio. Here there are those who do the laundry, those who write and read verses, those who sing in the house, those who watch movies and see culture as a way to think and transform life.

Cinema is here presented as a kind of dance without music, and its performers are also the creators of the spectacle. How to deal with organisation and bureaucracy, many times oppressive, some dispersive? And what is the gaze after all?
