Synopsis
This is the story of Sagrario, a shellfish gatherer from the Ferrol coast, and her thousand faces. It presents us with an aloof mother, a family in perpetual turmoil and an adultery trial due to the daughter she has with her lover, a carpenter who is ‘worth loving’. While female desire was controlled and oppressed during the dictatorship, here it is presented through a delicate and critical portrayal of a classist society that could not stand Sagrario’s disobedience. This is the latest film by Margarita Ledo Andión, an important author from Galicia who has not yet been sufficiently seen in Portugal.
