Alice Eça Guimarães · 2025 · ANI · 12 min

It's saturday, a day of rest. A woman wakes up early because she wants to give herself a gift: time.

The mental load of these tasks becomes unbearable, and she reaches a breaking point.

With the sea and the urban Algarve as a background, we follow a complete cycle of the life of a special shellfish called "percebes" (goose barnacle). From their formation, to the dish, in this journey, we cross different contexts that allow us to better understand this region and those who live there.

Next door, a man's age isolates him from everyone around him. His granddaughter, Marta, returns from London, a place where she felt more alone than ever.
