History with no capital letter 2019
Portrait of a time and a country through the plotless story of an unassuming couple, questioning seeming antagonisms that conceal mysterious kinships, and highlighting an intrinsic contradiction of cinema: while fabricating images, film language creates objects that are deeply different from the original models

Antónia 2007
Antónia didn't play with dolls, nor did she learn to read and write at the age when children go to school and don't usually sell their labor power. She experienced the harsh social inequalities of Salazarism. Used to toiling from sun up to sun down, work is still her "sport" today. She regrets that those who miss the dictatorship are not forced to experience in the flesh what fascism was like... She tells us all this while her hands prepare the dough for the Easter cakes, scented with aniseed, with the zeal of a master.

Mau Dia 2006
From Jacques Prévert's poem “Petit déjeuner du matin”, Mau Dia experiences a dilation of the time in which the banality hides the lived drama. All elements are decomposed and then rebuilt - painted walls, orchestrated rain, spoiled actions, depicted or sung…

A Bagagem 2006
On leaving university, what do students do with their acquired baggage? Is it for them to find a job that meets their expectations? And how do they see the university once the study cycle they have completed there?

Meu Deus 2005
An altarpiece and a portrait, whose composition obeys the digressions and ramblings of a handful of people, around their intimate relationship with God.

Má Sina 1996
In an empty theatre, a woman is watching an American film - "Ma's Sin" - which tells the weird revenge story of a middle-aged wife, driven mad by jealousy and a deep feer of dying.

But as the lights turn on, she leaves the theatre, apparently unaffected.

Amour en latin 1989
In an enclosed space of a café for an entire night, a set of characters try to verbalize their thirst for love and their fear that love will overwhelm them.
