The woman of Caxinas is a model of modern Portuguese women. This statement contradicts the traditional image of a fishwife bereaved in northern Portugal. But that’s what we discovered during the research for this film. And that’s what enchanted us. The romantic and vital force of these women, able to love and fight for life ‚ theirs and their husbands’ ‚ made me dedicate them a film. And this film is about two women who have two very different ways to respond to the trust given to and asked of them. Because beyond the portrayal of the women of Caxinas, this is a film about a friendship that is born between two very different women: master Sónia and actress Anabela. Sonia is the master chosen to star in the film, Anabela is the actress who infiltrates in her universe to discover a character of Caxinas. (João Canijo)
