    • Synopsis
    • Field Notes arises from the need to understand the period of austerity policies in Portugal, which began in 2011. It stems from a search that takes the shape of a journey during which two women share their life experiences and their thoughts on those years: how they changed their lives and political views. A generational gaze on that specific time, on a path towards the South, from Portugal to the Sahara desert – a movement of taking distance: a breath.
