Synopsis


On a hot August afternoon, the family gathered at the table remembers uncle Botão: the Colonial War, emigration to France, where he lived and worked thirty years as a garbage man. Memories of each are crossed to tell the story of a man who lived a hard life through humor and fantasy, like when he returned to Belmonte, in a van full of trash, turned into a real treasure.

Laura Gonçalves


After graduating from the Fine Arts University of Lisbon, Alexandra and Laura began working in animation film in 2009. Since then, their paths have always been intertwined. They've been part of the technical teams on various films, directed together and separately, and recently started producing. They both believe in the power of collaboration. They are 2 of the 6 founding members of BAP- Animation Studio, a Cooperative of animation authors, which since 2013 has been their nest for developing and making films, alongside other internationally recognised authors. Together they made the films Água Mole (2017) and Percebes (2024).
