This allegorical short was inspired by a news item about the rescue operation of two boys, who were part of a hunting party and ended up in a marshland. The rescuers, in the film, quarrel with each other and forget why they are there. It’s a sarcastic parable on Portuguese fascism. Indeed, the film was censored as too pessimistic and was allowed to be released with an optimistic ending. After the fall of the junta, prints of the film include both versions of the ending.
