OS MUTANTES started as a documentary project about street children, but Teresa Vilaverde did not see any way to realise the film on her terms. The children she met during the researchperiod inspired her to make this film. Andreia, Pedro and Ricardo aspire to a different life, without knowing how they want to live. The children's energy is also ex-pressed in the camerawork: the will to see things in a different light sometimes literally turns the picture upside down.
