[“Money isn’t everything” is an expression that we ear say frequently. “Without health a man is nothing” confirms the truth of this statement. However, there are times when the opposite could not be truer. In times of extreme crisis, saying that money is not everything may be an insult to those who live in poverty. But it is also a glimmer of dignity and humanity that one can grasp, what distinguishes us from the “animal of the consumerist society”. “Money isn’t everything” is a paradox.
The tale by Branquinho da Fonseca (Author of The Baron), from which I took inspiration for this film expresses this dilemma without proselytizing. Here in his own words the protagonist’s dilemma: “The marriage of Catarina took place just because he never had the courage to say what he thought, to speak with sincerity. Just because he had been afraid of having that responsibility and regretting it one day. Damião was rich. He weighed in the balance something certain: the money. But what would he wheight on the other side of the scale? Ah! It weighed everything! So he saw under that idea an underlying persistent truth: because in life nobody can have it all, and to live is to always miss something. Deep down he felt the need to scream “No”, that just money wasn’t worth anything. But he was so afraid that one day he would see her even more disgraced, in the end, he just wanted to figure out what would be the lesser evil.” Raymond allows his daughter to get married to a scrupulous man, and that event unravels an inner revolt, that materializes in a kaleidoscopic night and in an almost tragic morning. Without nothing to hold him he lives a night of humiliation.]
