It was then she got started in watching, and loving movies, at the Cinémathèque de Paris, where her aunt was deputy director. She was married twice, and had children from her first husband. In April 25, 1974, she came to the streets armed with a movie camera, and filmed the happiness of the people during the first hours of liberation from the Portuguese oppressive political regime.
