In 2013, an auteur film causes a scandal because of its sex scenes. I was sixteen and one of the angry viewers. Ten years later, I'm ready to settle the score with this film in the form of a video essay.
An island, surrounded by the great waves of the Atlantic ocean. The coasts are wild and the sea plays with the land. A woman is spinning red wool, the quiet rattle of her spinning wheel leads to the voice of the storyteller. The story of the Selkie, an imaginary being, unfolds. Many things happen between low and high tide, at sea and on earth, under the sun and the moon.
Between Tides questions our relationship to the place in which we live, it reminds us of the importance of creativity and the connection between all living beings.
Food, medicine, weapons and ammunition. During the war, the young Antonietta transported all this at night in a heavy backpack to her partisan group in the mountains at great risk. She breaks her silence about this time because she fears that her memories of the resistance will die with her.
A clandestine neighbourhood in Lisbon wakes up to the news of a violent police raid, which took place the night before. Camila, a 7-year-old girl, goes to search of her brother. She's worried. Her brother is missing. At the same time, Jysone is in a hurry: after 6 years in jail and 5 weeks free, Jysone has finally found work and knows he can't be late. He is looking for someone who can give him a ride as he walks through the alleys of the neighbourhood, where he comes across friends and acquaintances, which delay him even more. The fate of our two protagonists will end up intersecting in the worst possible way.
