Synopsis
25th of December, in the eighties. The family gets together in grandparents’ house. When I was twelve I dreamt with putting in motion the static pictures of the crèche. With this film I tried to do the same with the memories of my cousins and relatives, with that house and with those rituals. It’s a fake documentary and a fake animation film, a semi-fiction about children who go to war, play music, and take over. —Miguel Gomes

it's a wonderful short. Miguel Gomes, always on the frontier between documentary and fiction, blending the two 'genres'; or like in Cântico das Criaturas (2006), segmenting the short in three parts: first and third almost documentaries, but nevertheless manipulating the footage, and the 2nd part, fictional nucleus and amazing studio feature that reminds us of some latest Resnais (Smoking/ No smoking).
