Casa Pequena

Composed of unpublished versions of the band's repertoire, Sol Posto integrates three performances recorded live and exclusively for the film. The performances take place at three different times of the day: twilight, night and dawn. As in recent daily life, the film faces the idea of a period of reflection instead of action, and suspension instead of completion. The hours of Sol Posto are the stage of rest, seclusion, dreams and plans, darkness, waiting and the unknown. If, on the one hand, it wants to evoke the most credible aspects of a concert experience, it also becomes an opportunity to break the physical barrier of the traditional stage/audience, bringing the spectacle closer to the spectator, bringing it into the stage and placing it at a distance of complicity with the musicians. The sound and image were recorded live, during a week in September 2020, in Melides.

The director Ricardo Oliveira recorded the daydreams of recording the third album of originals by Capitão Fausto: Capitão Fausto Têm os Dias Contados. And when in one of the songs - “Corazón” - is heard at a certain point: “… Pontas soltas. Isso é comigo. E por isso queres também ser assim. Pontas soltas. Isso é comigo. Para estragar um disco tenho-me a mim…”, it is clear that the band of Tomás Wallenstein, Manuel Palha, Francisco Ferreira, Domingos Coimbra and Salvador Seabra reached the age of majority and tied such loose ends. More than a diary, it is an experience.
