Foi o fio
Foi o fio (Once Upon a Thread) is a short animated film inspired by the Greek myth of the thread of destiny and the three goddesses who control it.
They are Clotho, a yarn-ball woman who knits sweaters for her cat, Lachesis, an old woman who spends the days looking at the window, and Atropos, a black market vendor who sells clothes fallen from clotheslines.
There is also an umbrella taxi driver always followed by rain, a man-house, animal-people, a big-head, giants and a woman that carries the husband on her back, all connected by the thread.
