Synopsis


The story guides us through the relationship of Amélia and Duarte, two people who have fallen out of love and are trying to cope with the feelings that follow the end of a relationship. Their relationship takes on the shape of an archive box whose contents illustrate the story of their breakup. We are guided through their separation as they try to divide, destroy and erase the memories of each other. The film is made in pixilation and stop-motion, and has a 1950s Technicolor feel. It portrays not only the surrealism of their actions, but also provides an ironic chromatic impression of the end of love.
