WHERE THE SUMMER GOES (CHAPTERS ON YOUTH)
ONDE O VERÃO VAI (EPISÓDIOS DA JUVENTUDE)

Portugal, 2018, 21′

It’s summer, a boy and his friends go to the river. On the ride there, a story is told about a man and his pet snake that tried to eat him. The boy falls from a tree trunk and gets hurt. A girl follows him. A couple kiss each other, another boy explores the woods and a third one just lays by a tree eating a peach. In four chapters, the heat and the humidity of the forest unravel desires among them.
