The Ferreira Family
Location

Date
Four generations in one small kitchen
Avó Helena turned eighty on a Sunday in April. The Ferreiras gathered in the kitchen of the house she has lived in for fifty-two years. Her daughter was in from Porto. Her granddaughter brought her first child.
Everyone talked at once. There was no programme, no moment to orchestrate. We just listened with the camera and let the afternoon take care of itself.
