Maria Inês Opinião

A girl helps her brothers get rid of the body of a man they murdered by accident.

We follow the catechesis sessions of the 4th grade children from the Parish of Santo António de Moscavide. They reflect and learn about the Catholic religion. Some of them, however, are also preparing for an important moment: the First Communion. We observe their preparations for this celebration, and try to understand their perspective and that of their classmates regarding this new stage of their religious lives.

At night, the city breaks up into quiet and hustle and a magnificent yet deafening garbage truck disturbs it. It takes away dinner leftovers and everything else forgotten in the fridge, it takes away tokens belonging to past lives - lived either together or apart. In the truck, it all gets crumpled and broken up.
