On a hot August afternoon, the family gathers around the table. The memories of each one cross to remember the story of Uncle Button.

She has a big head and a small body. Your clothes are adjusted to the size of your head. He has a small head and a large body. He wears a mask adjusted to his body size. Both hide traits that they believe make them weak. Their special flaws... A chance encounter, or rather a collision, and their "masks" come off, and they realize they make a perfect match.

Bando à Parte 

 

​A harsh winter freezes the surface of a river near the house where two cousins live. Thaddeus, the shepherd of an ox who brings him sustenance, and Emídio, incapable and dependent. Wrapped in the icy wind that rises that day, the roughness of the relationship between the two grows, reaching the limit. On the hard surface of the river, Thaddeus is challenged to choose to save the ox, or the cousin who hinders it.

From the drawers, sounds and images are born that offer a journey between memory and daydream, the new and the new old, the figurative and the abstract. They are flashes in the retina: the puppet tent, that record, the tricycle and the corridor… Everything combines and metamorphoses.​​​
