      Before filming Ganhar a Vida, he went to France, where he spent two years living among immigrants, to understand what kind of story could be told through his lens. Then he had the enlightenment that it could be something similar to Antigone, by Sophocles. He then discovered a lady who had an Antigone story in the Portuguese community, and they wrote the script from there.
