Considered one of the founding films of the Portuguese movement, Novo Cinema, it was the first feature film directed by Paulo Rocha. It is a film that evokes themes and problems that are still very relevant today, particularly with regard to the problem of housing and macho violence. A performance that opens with experimentation, putting the images of the film in dialogue with a new text, written and read live by Bruno Humberto and Candela Varas, with the music of Carlos Paredes, transcribed to the harpsichord by Joana Bagulho.
