Cinemateca do Museu Guido Viaro

A brown spot grows and develops into the shape of a spider, which shrinks and enlarges in a repetition of frames. The spider transforms into a bird, which changes its head and performs a flying motion from the center of the screen to the lower left corner, where its shape degrades and recomposes itself into the shape of another bird, which flies toward the right side of the frame. The word “end” gradually appears, formed by small, discontinuous strokes. While writing the letter M, a hand holding a pen appears, writing. The small strokes are transformed into continuous letters, and the last movement is the transformation of the letter I into a stick figure waving, accompanied by a speech bubble containing the word “end” again.

In 1968, Candeias made five short films shot by him in the South American countries of Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia, Colombia and Venezuela. The films were lost for over two decades before being found in 1992. After discovery the shorts were packaged together in this film.
