CASA NA PRAIA

Portugal / 20' / 2019

A beach house. Family, friends and the restless eye of a small camera. Times and moments, moving things, questions answered and others that come up through curiosity. Beach House speaks of the bonds, the ordinary moments and the agita- tion trying to respond to reality. Transformed. A film which comes across a lot of questions about religion and spirituality, culture and identification, about time and relationships, and of how cinema (the camera) is the tool that binds together the questions with the answers.Teresa Folhadela
