Review by ricardojorgeramalho

A fatalistic story of a man and a small community, condemned to live off smuggling, in permanent flight and risking their lives, pursued by the authorities, by rival gangs, by land greedy landowners, who exploit smuggling, unscrupulously, at the same time as they pretend to collaborate with the authorities, in the reform of a miserable society, destined to suffering, ignorance, and violent and premature death.

Technically limited and with a sometimes confusing narrative, this film serves as a historical document, from a time that later powers tried to erase from memory, but also for the undeniable social conscience it manifests.

Nevertheless, there is a discreet but authentic poetry that springs from its simplicity, almost rude.c.
