… Pela Razão Que Têm!

Shortly after the fall of the Salazar dictatorship, in the early days of PREC, one of the first land occupations in the liberated country took place in the village of Quebradas (near Rio Maior). It was the first Basista occupation of that period. Soon after recovering the "land that was ours and was stolen from us", the workers elected a committee and formed a co-operative. There's a sense that the class struggle has reached its peak. …PELA RAZÃO QUE TÊM! is a rare case of a re-enactment documentary, in which the peasants themselves reenact the remarkable events of this claim, just after 25 November, when many of these operations were being reversed.

Twin Flames

Redheaded twins Armando and Beatriz always dreamed of being firefighters but during a rainy, uneventful winter they find themselves spending less time putting out infernos than they do helping neighbors who’ve locked themselves out of their apartments. This is how Armando meets a pretty young woman with whom he begins a tentative courtship. But soon a rift grows between the siblings and, spurred by Armando’s exaggerated stories about his nascent relationship, Beatriz begins experiencing aural hallucinations that can only be remedied through music and, finally, the love of a stranger.
