A formally free poetic documentary filmed through a summer depression in northern Portugal.

The wanderer Rascal embarks on a psychotic and contradictory journey to break out of the ego bubble in which his self-loathing and isolation have inserted him in. After his metamorphosis, his soulmate, Paloma, makes him realize that life is as complicated as it is simple - and that all that's left to do is to live.

A punk scarecrow, endowed by life, annihilates its roots and revitalizes its territory.

The twin brothers who invented the "dab" tell their story.

All the stories told, all the memories, dreams and lost moments were left in a tank from other generations.

An intimate glimpse into 3 years of serene moments, compiling video, polaroids and other things that were lying around when editing.

Rua de Santa Catarina, a street that was formerly home to dozens of local businesses and hundreds of Porto residents, now sees a crowd of tourists attracted by the cheap, disposable amenities that are popping up everywhere at once. Gentrification has decontextualized Portuguese culture, rendering the landscape uncanny. The Basin Woman, a symbol of the female workers of the historic Bolhão Market, is chased down by seagulls in the midst of this transcendent chaos.
