A Gravidez é Nossa
Four men in a rural Mozambican community who live in very different stages of life, from having their first girlfriend, expecting their first child, or being married for many years. However, they all have one thing in common: they want to change the traditional way in which contraception, pregnancy, childcare and housework are viewed by other men in their community.

Berlenga Grande
A small island off the coast of Portugal: a seaside resort during the summer, a protected reserve for the rest of the year. Only the lighthouse keepers live there in winter. Along with thousands of seabirds. An immersion into solitude and the natural elements, filmed in a pictorial manner and with a sense of framing that blends man into his environment.

Ilha dos Espíritos
A small island, a great history. Long before giving its name to the country, the Mozambique island had a fundamental role in the Indian Ocean during centuries. Anchor point for caravels, meeting point for pirates, it is a melting pot of races. It raises its walls in the middle of the sea. Its winding streets full of life reveal small palaces, churches and white houses. Its inhabitants are eccentric characters, proud of the island's past history. As we wander through the streets we meet an historian, a maritime archeologist, a fisherman, the "doorman" of the island, a dancer, many spirits...
