About O Miúdo da Bica
The life of Fernando Farinha, from kid where he ran away to school - to sing the fado, and the condescension of the parents, although aspiring to have an "honest" job.
Directed by Constantino Esteves, O Miúdo da Bica leans on a strong ensemble — Fernando Farinha, Leónia Mendes, Rudolfo Neves — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about music titles of 1963.
