It is a short film by Nuno Dias .
This is a film without lines. All the action takes place in an open environment, free of geographical references, may or may not be in the Alentejo, but that does not matter, what matters is to extend the idea of absolute loneliness, desolation and the sense of drift of the character, which makes the action even more exciting and interesting , the natures noises act as sound auxiliary in this noir short film whose premise is simple, " when she finds a dead man in the middle of nowhere, she decided to take his only possession ," and that is enough to understand perfectly the story, the way it was filmed is truly captivating, just noticed one catch, a small mistake , a spotlight that "chases " the character in the back as she walks by drifting thru the wasteland in the middle of the night. I really enjoyed the work of the young actress, Rita Martins, of her physicality , the expressions of her face that do not leave anyone indifferent, her performance was superb, totally convincing until the last second, making her earn the prize for best actress in " Los Angeles International Underground Film Festival" . The ending is unexpected for its raw brutality and the make up of the character is simply wonderful! Look at this " shadow " as a good example of Portuguese cinema.
