by Margarida Cordeiro and António Reis 

1989 | Portugal | 105’ 

Sounds, rhythms, visions, words, bodies and faces, wind, dust and sand.
Dream characters, exposed but secret, who appear and disappear only to reappear further away like the temporary oueds where the desert rose is born.
Human condition, painful, living life: children and women, men and animals, in the world of a movie, in the time of a movie.

For the month of August, Lucky Star - Cineclube de Braga has scheduled weekly screenings of a retrospective dedicated to Margarida Cordeiro and António Reis. With the screening of six films, this is a rare opportunity to get to know the three feature films and the medium-length film that make up the work and the most important part of the legacy of the authors from Trás-os-Montes. The influence of the pair of directors is immeasurable on cinema in Portugal and the rest of the world, starting with the repercussions of viewing their films and continuing through their work as teachers of various directors in our country. Cordeiro and Reis gave references and a past to those who didn't have one, rescuing popular culture and giving it a voice and a platform.
