A Vida Triste e Chata
translates to ‘An Annoying and Sad Life’. It’s as journey of a young
girl’s life growing up in rural Portugal after WWII.
Lourdes was 8 years old when she lost her mother. She was
left to look after her family in a harsh and often violent land.
These stories were told to us as children, time and time
again to remind us of our roots, and to keep us quiet at bedtime.
It’s a glimpse of one story among millions that make
Australia what it is today, a land full of diversity and rich in culture.
