AFTER OUR IDOLS, by Ricardo Penedo (Portugal, 2013, 30′)
“We can tell that our idols, naturally exalted by poetry, outshine, in memory’s light, those who really are our continuous models: our family. Without asking permission, this turning point is now guiding me in a quest for the calmness of the spirit with my true loved ones” (Ricardo Penedo).
