• Award for Best Director at Quinta Praia Film Festival (2012): “The path is never a straight line, it may involve descending to learn and to gain the humility to embarque in new flights.

We should not waste it with our blindness and eagerness to achieve goals ” – Message and Interpretation from Jury.
