Creeks

Feature film inspired by the eponymous work of Soeiro Pereira Gomes. In the mid-1940s, in a Portugal mired in poverty and illiteracy, a group of boys work in the potteries of Alhandra, on the coast, collecting clay to make roof tiles and bricks. Gineto, Sagui, Malesso, Guedelhas and Gaitinhas forge strong friendships and bonds of camaraderie, whilst dreaming of other horizons and embarking on liberating adventures, facing the harshness of labour, the daily family dramas, hunger, abuse and injustice with courage, defiance and determination. In the end, their unity always prevails in a world of adults who do not understand them. With the support of RTP and ICA for the production of feature films.
