Terra Franca
Ashore
Wie ein stilles Kind, das immer dabei ist und alles mitbekommt, begleitet die Filmemacherin Leonor Teles den Fischer Albertino und sein Leben in einer Stadt nahe Lissabon. Die Zeit und Ereignisse rauschen an ihm vorbei wie die Züge und der Autoverkehr durch seinen Ort: der Kampf um die berufliche Existenz, Geburtstagsfeiern, die ältere Tochter wird bald heiraten, die jüngere kündigt an, von zuhause auszuziehen. Ein normales Familienleben eben. Die Zeit steht dort still, wo sie keine Rolle spielt: im Boot, auf dem Wasser. (Dominik Tschütscher)
Terra Franca portrays the life of Albertino Lobo and his family who live in a small ancient fishing village near Lisbon, Portugal: the local culture, relationships and families, from work-filled everyday life to fancy boat parades and weddings. Between the pressure of rule dictating distant authorities and the ever-changing world, they try to keep up their old ways of life. In the end, the most important things in life are the connections between people and family. And that the dad spins his daughter with joy during her wedding dance.
