TITLE: Remembrance

A group of boys play soccer on a modest makeshift pitch in the small parish of Santa Rita, on Terceira Island in the Azores. The games are always fierce between these friends of different ages. The happiness of being there, with no strings attached, can be seen in their faces and in the candor of their gestures. There seems to be joy and peace there. These games, where they change fields after five goals and finish after ten, don't need a referee and don't seem to have any special rules, the friendship that will stay with them forever.
