Synopsis:

The Circus (1952)
Tony, a trapeze artist, gets a job at a small circus. When a tempest takes away the tent, Tony stays for the love of the beautiful Belmira who could be a rider... if they hadn't sold the horse.

Nazaré (1952)
The sea, often treacherous, is the only source of living of the people of Nazaré. The film tells the story of António and his family, where no dreams are allowed.

Lives Adrift (1956)
Meia-Lua used to be a sailor, but he now makes a poor living smuggling. He is a cynical man, who doesn't care for Ana or for the child they had together..

My Little Seamstress (1959)
Aurora works as a seamstress and she is making the dress she'll be wearing at a singing contest. She's in love with a penniless boy and she dreams about her father who left for Brazil leaving her alone with her mother.

The Wheat and the Tares (1965)
The huge plains of Alentejo sets the background for this tale of a sad and strong people, their endless struggle for bread, their nostalgic, bewitching songs and their daily toil to turn a dry, barren land into golden wheat fields.

The Circus (1952)
Tony, a trapeze artist, gets a job at a small circus. When a tempest takes away the tent, Tony stays for the love of the beautiful Belmira who could be a rider... if they hadn't sold the horse. They play at open-air, sleep under the stars, scrimp and save every penny, and soon there's a new tent to be bought... on credit. But Belmira is not happy, she dreams of a real home, while Tony is fascinated by the circus. And the gloomy days are back.

Nazaré (1952)
The sea, often treacherous, is the only source of living of the people of Nazaré. The film tells the story of António and his family, where no dreams are allowed. There is also the mourning of the woman in black wailing silently on the beach or waiting for their children lost in the sea.

Lives Adrift (1956)
Meia-Lua used to be a sailor, but he now makes a poor living smuggling. He is a cynical man, who doesn't care for Ana or for the child they had together. He lives with the beautiful Marlene who dances in the bars. Gull spends her whole days lulling a doll in her arms, and she waits for her love that will rise from the depths of the sea. The deaf musician Sparrow watches over her, in his despaired love and long-held wish of becoming a sea captain. There is a dispute down the piers, there is a crime that might be just an accident, there is a bad conscience that turns sour, there is a boat full of poor wretches like a rocking lullaby, a baby that passes from arms to arms, a clumsy beggar that finds some work, a courthouse of tramps...

My Little Seamstress (1959)
The only musical comedy in the history of the Portuguese cinema. The chronicle of a poor neighbourhood in Oporto: simple people, little shops, life on the river bank. Aurora works as a seamstress and she is making the dress she'll be wearing at a singing contest. She's in love with a penniless boy and she dreams about her father who left for Brazil leaving her alone with her mother. However, as the song says, all's well that ends well: her father comes back a rich man, and the little seamstress will end up marrying her beau.

The Wheat and the Tares (1965)
The huge plains of Alentejo sets the background for this tale of a sad and strong people, their endless struggle for bread, their nostalgic, bewitching songs and their daily toil to turn a dry, barren land into golden wheat fields. Adaptation by Fernando Namora of his own romance with the same title.
