Teresa Villaverde - Os Mutantes (1998)

Andreia, Pedro, and Ricardo refuse things as they are and feel comfortable nowhere. They never give up; they are always searching. There is a visible strength within them that spreads everywhere, something on the verge of exploding. They overflow with energy, with the desire to change things and to live differently. They do not know what they want, but there is always something that disturbs them. They live with a constant need for dizziness, dislocation, and movement. They do not accept the place that was imposed on them even before they had the chance to choose anything. They refuse this place, and that is why they do not occupy it. But nothing has been planned for them. They are survivors. They are Portuguese mutants, but there are mutants everywhere else too. The world would surely prefer that they did not exist-but they do exist.
