Conceição escapes from the Nursing Home with the help of her grandaughter Lia. The two of them go on a trip to the coast of Algarve in order to watch a bird called Calcamar, that only exists on the region.
Calcamar is a school short film developed in the discipline of Projeto Final (Final Project) of the last year of the graduation in Cinema by the University of Beira Interior.
The project was critically acclaimed by the teachers on the several steps of evaluation, since it’s conception until the making of the Pre-Production Folder.
At the moment we find ourselves in one of the most important phase of the project: its financing. Therefore, we count on you to help us, whether it’s through donations or the sharing of this project.
