Costa's auspicious debut demonstrates his love and knowledge of both classical Hollywood and European art cinema. Costa explores the plight of two brothers as they attempt to come to terms with the death of their father and the legacy of violence and debt he has left behind. Shot in startling monochrome, Costa has created a lushly stylized romantic fable. Blood stands apart from his later 'neo-realist' works, but is uniquely formed work of Art in its own right.

Moody and enigmatic Portuguese drama about the relationship between two young brothers. Living in a squat on the outskirts of Lisbon, 17-year-old Vincente (Pedro Hestnes) and his ten-year-old brother Nino (Nuno Ferreira) have had a tough life. With no mother, and a father who's seldom there, they've had to learn to look after themselves. So when their father disappears for good, they take it in their stride, determined to keep it their secret. The precariousness of the boys' situation is soon brought to the fore, however, when some of their father's former gambling partners arrive on their doorstep seeking information, whatever it takes to get it.
