De Nodar em Nodar<\/strong><\/p>\n Synopsis:<\/p>\n Two places, the same toponym. Nodar. They are four hundred kilometers apart, having a border carved in the middle. Both are lands of cliffs, windrows, butternuts and corn. What wind has blown for this coincidence? When, how and who acted? Is the Nodar in Lugo (Galicia) a mirror of the Nodar in S\u00e3o Pedro do Sul (Portugal)? What if a divine accident has repeated genetic, social and cultural forces, perhaps with a slight deviation? And if people will recognize us from a distance, when we arrive on a rainy and foggy day? And what if the opposite happens? This is an experience that can only be an intimate one. It is an old and familiar question that must be assumed once and for all, talking about these two mirror-places, with whom might appear, on both sides of this common Galician-Portuguese cultural river.<\/p>\n Biography:<\/p>\n Lu\u00eds Costa (1968).
