With 3 balls of wool

(Portuguese edition)

A family moves to another country in search of a freer place where all children can go to school. But despite being different, the new country is far from perfect and in this grey new world, a lack of freedom is felt in the simplest of things such as choosing the colour of the jumper you want to wear in the morning…

And there’s where one mother sets to work. Or to be more precise, one mother, a pair of needles and three ball of wool…

With the same old colours – the same colours since forever – this mother gets knitting and starts a small revolution in the city!

Based on real events, this story is inspired by the experience of a Portuguese family who fled the Estado Novo dictatorship in the late 1960s and lived in exile in several countries.
