Porto of My Childhood | Cinema Cycle Portas Abertas

The documentary begins with a car ride through the streets of old Porto, in which the director Manoel de Oliveira recalls a walk home with his mother at night, after seeing a play. From Batalha, they walked through the Rua 31 de Janeiro, Mouzinho da Silveira, and the Marginal riverfront road towards Cais da Pedra, then ascended Rua D. Pedro V... The director recalls the city as it used to be, by looking at photographs and engravings (of public or family houses or places). He then contrasts these memories with modern-day houses and places.
