Mensagem do Realizador Director Statement
Throughout my childhood I have always heard stories like this one. The triggers for these events were the theft of water from “lameiros” (mudd fields where animals drank water and ate), which very often resulted in homicide. These practices were a matter of honour in the villages of Trás-os-montes and were therefore not questioned by the population. This particular story was told to me by a Judge during the shooting of António Campos’ film “Terra Fria”, in Padornelos. At the time, the Judge seemed bothered as he told the tale. He understood the circumstances and had wished to diminish the sentence, but the accused admitted, without remorse, the voluntary homicide. It is important to remember that the land and the water – the main elements in this film – were extremely important in these mountainous regions to sustain the animals and agriculture. The theft of water implicated the animals’ survival and subsequently the family’s. Here tenderness goes hand in hand with violence.
