CGiii Comment

Such complexity in a short space of time...

The cinematographer and colorist do a fantastic job...it's all to rare that a short film looks as cinematic as this!

A twisted tale brought beautifully to life by the assured hand and eye of Mariana Marques.

How do you find yourself, when love is lost forever? Maria a young girl living in Portugal in the late 60's, is left alone by her husband who is taken to the colonial war in Africa on their wedding day.
