Looking for Filipa

Short film / 2023 / Documentary / HD / 16.20’


Filipa arranged to meet us at 3 pm and didn’t show up. We went looking for her around Melgaço. People lead to other people – a real journey, in a territory that gradually reveals itself, and also reveals the connections between their land and inhabitants.
On foot, or in our Citroen Saxo car, we explored Melgaço and its stories. We sat and talked with almost everyone we crossed.
