Contemporary cinema is collaborative, as it was during the Occupation. The only possible position for creators is non-collaboration. Jean Eustache
Os salmos is an atmospheric drama about personal and political ghosts. It arises from the desire to record certain images and sounds: filming the neighbourhood of childhood, a concert by friends, the sea at night, work and daily life at the port. With a documentary impulse, the film starts from reality to the search for an atmosphere outside of time and space, turning everyday places into fiction to discover the mystery they hide, and moving away to a temporarily autonomous zone where the familiar becomes strange. All this with an air of utopia at the end of the world.
