Porto, the city where Maria was born, is also her prison. During the
day, she sews, dusts, and dreams. At night, the old prostitute shows
off her body. Zé, the man she is in love with, is willing to get her
out of the streets, but balks at what she desires most: a son. |

The FISDN present film series focused on different countries and regions. This section intends to discover and explore different spaces and cultures with the aim to understand the specific regional, political and social circumstances, do reconstruct the emotional and intellectual spécificities of a special region or country. In this critical work we belief it's essencial to prefer films which rufuse, in its form and expression, the retake of sterotype ways of reality restituition, as an act of resistance in the actual period of "globalisation", which inclins to impose one dominating model of culture and habitutes.
