Respirar (debaixo d'água)

António Ferreira | Portugal | 2000 | 45' |

What stops two people from being together? A third one. What stops one person from fighting for another? Nothing. This is the story of Pedro who, having his head pushed under so much, learned how to breathe under water. António Ferreira has so far made three short films.
