In this documentary short film, Leonor Teles portrays the xenophobic tradition of placing ceramic frogs at the entrance of commercial establishments, with the aim of preventing the entry of gypsies. A film about the real space of Portuguese daily life, in which gypsies present themselves enveloped in an aura of ambiguity, being “simultaneously strange and familiar, distant and close, disturbing and seductive, marginal and cosmopolitan”, as Diogo Seabra Lopes says.
