Tiago Correia / A Turma

“Pela Água” discusses love and its mismatches. An intense, puzzling, yet clear dialogue between two men of the same woman. Different ages, different experiences, so much and so little in common. A joint meditation on human relations that furthers the power of words in a dialogue dominated by the absence of that woman, and by love. “Pela Água” is an intimate piece, full of revelations and confidences, which raises existential, social, generational and relational issues, such as lacking future prospects, overcoming one’s idols, confronting paradigm shifts from one generation to another, and criticising the traditional family structure. It also brings about feminist issues by empowering the female figure, and doing so based on an absent key character.
