The day begins with an exchange of favours. An interview, a football game, cigarettes after cigarettes. Routine fragments of those who live in an isolated space which labels and conditions life choices.

Varziela, Vila do Conde, the biggest Chinatown in Portugal. A man wearing a hat and a missing woman. A high-heeled shoe, a blond wig and a Chinese dress. The confrontation between the East Wind and the Red Dragon; the cardinal points switched as in an ultimate Mahjong game.

The colors translates the movements of luck and the paths without direction.

The emotional journey of Yulya, a fragile and precious young woman.

In a village in the Portuguese Douro region, there is a story about a fishmonger named Cristo who visits Las Veigas every week. On one of these visits, he runs into the granddaughter of a friend of his. The girl confuses Cristo with Jesus, and based on this comparison, Cristo has a revelation that elevates him to a divine level.

Caldeira, Sado estuary. A clam picker and his friend spend the morning collecting up the bounty of the tide.
