From Regina's personal and visual memories, a tribute to her uncle Thomas, who was an artistic inspiration and played a key role in her becoming a filmmaker. A moving tribute to a poet of the everyday.
This is the story about a boy not like the others that dreams about finding his place in the world.
Christmas Song. (40 Seg. )
A girl whose heart beats faster than normal and so loudly that it bothers the neighbors seeks both acceptance and escape.
It's the story of a child and her mother, two lives that don't communicate with each other. Is that loneliness that sometimes reaches the size of the night. Dark is the night. Dark is the mother. And dark becomes the entire Universe when you are alone and abandoned.

A rescued poem, written by the neorealist Álvaro Feijó in 1940, brings it back to the days that imitate it. Slowly settling in the hearts of men and women who become hostage to her grace, there she is revealing all her nature, at the same time as she utters his name unmercifully.
A journey through the fears and ghosts of Portuguese popular culture
An old, rusty freighter enters the harbor on the morning of December 24th. A board brings a clandestine passenger who tries, at night, to jump into the country.
Nights are hidden days beyond our minds. But some remain like flying shadows reshaping the naive images of our lives. Faces hurt with emptiness, characters petrified in silence, lands inked with blood....And we become sleepy, carelessly dying, until morning happens.
In the 40's, after the Spanish Civil War, many republicans defeated by the nationalist forces of Franco found refuge on the bordering mountains in the north of Portugal. Some saw them as brigands, others gave them shelter and helped them on the sly to police forces of Salazar. They were... the Outlaws.
Christmas Song. (40 Seg. )
Portugal feels himself a little country in the tail of Europe. Has a wandering heart, an adventurous spirit, an embittered soul and an obedient body.
