3 Palmeiras

by João Botelho

Lisbon, 1994, a winter day. A forty years old woman spends the eight hours before the birth of her first child in desperation. Her partner, much younger that her, invents tragic, comic, caothic, crazy stories which correspond to the passing of the hours. The stories alleviate her pain.
