Madame

From a letter found at auction with the recipient "Queen Lady D. Amélia", it is structured a story between two characters in a XIX century scenario.
The main subject relates to the loss of someone, perhaps the murder of the King Carlos I and the sharing of such loneliness.
The video reflects the actuality of the letter during the subject and the message it conveys. Current thoughts on Portugal, society and we as individuals born with characteristics that portray us.
A reflection on the situation which we now live, full of emotions and affectivity, hope and anxiety, of confidence and dreams, of congratulations and mourning.
