First sketch of the character Moço.
Synopsis:
Moço is a young sheperd that lives in the mountains with his sheep. Other than guarding them, Moço also makes his day by sewing patches over the holes in the sky. Memories of his long lost sister, Sécia, that lives in the other side of the sky, torment him at night, and Farândola, the old seeder of stars, tries to put some sense in the boy’s heart.
