"This film, like the preceeding one, was filmed in Super-8 and transferred later to 35mm by the Cinemateca Portuguesa. - as Godard said - it is the glance that produces fiction, I am happy to say that all of Campos' fiction has within itself the nature of a documentary. Fiction is always there, and it is also very strong because the glance is very strong" (José Manuel Costa).
