The Waning Sky 1970

The Waning Sky tells the story of two lovers united by a love as strong as it is forbidden, haunted by the imminent presence of their unfulfilled desires and the guilt that follows them. Their relationship is founded on a shared lie, a guilt that torments them both, and an unrelenting desire that threatens to consume them both. They married young, not knowing the depths of love or passion, but when they met, they knew they had found their soulmate. The characters Luís and Ana, played by Carla Chambel and Rúben Garcia, are united by a passion that lasts for several years, supported by furtive encounters, declarations of love, conflicts and guilt. The Waning Sky presents a poetic and lyrical narrative of the complexities of desire, love and the lingering pain of living with the consequences.

An observational documentary film shot and produced in Porto, Portugal. On the one hand, this film partly falls under the genre where a specific point of view of a city, its existence and identity grows into a full character. On the other, also falls in line with the observational documentary practice without interviews, testimonies or voice overs. The film intends to discuss and question modern society values and human nature through a non-linear contemporary portrait of intimate life stories. Violence, education, health, poverty, the role of our institutions in the organization of life and the ethical and moral quality of our society represent the main body for reflection.
