Ala-Arriba! backdrop

Ala-Arriba! 1942 Directed by José Leitão de Barros

It focuses on maritime tragedy of the town and a forbidden love between Julha and João Moço, from different fisher castes, in a community where mixed-caste marriages were not allowed and dating without parent's assent was seen as a disgrace to the family, not only in respect to women, but also men.
