DIRECTOR'S NOTE
With “Nuno” I aimed to explore my perspective regarding this inevitable connection between me and my uncle, that I never met. “Nuno” short film serves as a tribute to him, and also a tribute to my own life that I owe to him greatly too, because we share first names, a tribute made by my parents, after his death. I explore this in a more abstract and idealized way, how my uncle’s feelings would be, and my own perspective and feelings about our connection. I also aim to explore the drug-addiction problem, that not only affects the ones directly suffering from it, but also the family and friends, in the present and in future generations.
