Água Fria - Cold Water in "Público" newspaper

Água Fria is almost 14 minutes of reflection on being Portuguese or, at least, "on a certain way of being Portuguese". It's a film "about disappointments, about memories, about sensations". The short film was selected for Clermont-Ferrand, in France, considered the most important International Short Film Festival in the world.
