Shame of dying in Winter - Directed by Gonçalo Viana

Project Type: Short Film

Project Title: Desgosto de morrer no Inverno (Shame of dying in Winter)

Brief Synopsis: After the death of his wife, old man Domingos does not accept the fact that the body of Carmen will be buried in a random grave from Monchique’s cemetery. As his last homage, Domingos does everything to grant a dignified grave, but in the process, ends up ignoring his own family and what really matters. This priority in his actions highlights the fact that he can’t manage to overcome and accept the death of his only life partner. It's a story about old values, about tradition and culture and, at the same time, reflection on change.
