José Maria Nunes (Faro, Portugal, 1930 - Barcelona, March 23, 2010) was a Spanish-Portuguese filmmaker and writer.

The film has no clear plot. It deals with the reactions of an older man and a young woman to the news stories that occur in 1968: the May student protests, Vietnam, Biafra. It is scattered, apparently disconnected. The characters find themselves in illogical situations: in a train cemetery, in a ruined house where some young people edit a journal. There is no sound of steps, and doors, when opened or closed, make no sound.

(Followed by “Filmmakers in Action.”)
