The Garbage Man
Laura Gonçalves
Programme:
In her latest film, Laura Gonçalves returns to her homeland and family in Belmonte. On this occasion, the family ritual is a lunch that takes place in the month of August. At the table, the family shares their fondest memories of their uncle Botão, who immigrated to France during the Estado Novo dictatorship and then began working as a dustman. When he returned home each summer, he always brought back small treasures discovered in the waste.
