Photo by Armando Taborda

Um fotógrafo tira fotografias a uma louca. O fotógrafo diz que nem o melhor actor consegue ter a expressividade do rosto de uma louca. E por isso não pára. Mesmo quando a louca diz «não» com a cabeça, «não» com a boca e, por fim, «não» com o dedo.

THE MADWOMAN

A photographer takes photos from a madwoman.The photographer says that neither the best actor gets the expressiveness of a madwoman's face. And therefore he doesn't stop. Even when the madwoman says «no» with the head, «no» with the mouth and, at last, «no» with the finger.

by Gonçalo M. TAVARES, in "SHORT MOVIES", Editorial Caminho, 2011
