"From a whore and a Galician
the first Portuguese was born" Galician saying

Portugal's first king,
D. Afonso Henriques

born around 1109
and died on December 6th, 1185,

was the son of D. Henrique
of Burgundy and D. Teresa of Leon.

His invocations throughout the centuries,
many of which less than credible,

shed a haze of mysticism
and uncertainty on the royal character.

In the XV century,
at the height of the Discoveries,

King Manuel I, transferred
the mortal remains of his ancestor

to a new, magnificent tomb.

Five decades afterwards,
D. Sebastião pays him tribute,

brandishing D. Afonso's
"ever victorious" sword,

promising that "it would still serve
him against the Moors in Africa".

In the XIX century, D. Miguel,
craving for sovereign legitimation,

decides to open
his ancestor's tomb.

Last century,

the dictator Salazar appears
as "the guardian of Portugal",

emulating Guimarães'
popular statue of the first king.

The most recent
attempt to open the tomb

dates from this century,

but was frustrated
at the last minute,

leaving its real
contents unknown.

You can take your
clothes off, now.

THE KING'S BODY

You can read now.

All right.

"And so the King rode

"on a big handsome horse,

"brought to him
with his cold weapons,

"such as before,

"and the knights
rode back to their flanks

"in orderly positions,

"and so they marched
against the Moors

"who were coming
in their direction.

"The King,

"seeing that it was time,
told Pedro Paes, his Ensign,

"to attack with bravery
with the flag,

"and all his flank
followed him

"and all charged
to strike hard the Moors.

"The King, moving ahead
hit a Moor with... a spear,

"with such success
and precision

"that struck him
dead on the ground.

"Breaking
the Moors' first flank,

"they got to the next,
made of fearless people,

"and there, the Moors' strength
was great,

"charging over the King
through its other flank.

"The battle was great
and hurtful on both sides.

"Each performed well,
particularly the King, benefiting

"of his great body stature
and of distinguished bravery

"and much strength,
an even bigger heart.

"He was a great
sword fighter,

"thus, his fighting
excelled among all.

"The battle was so
bravely fought

"that it lasted through
the midday hours

"without coming to an end.

"And the day was so hot
and filled with such dust,

"that each one
of these things,

"should have tired them
even more.

"And so King Ismar
was defeated,

"and the 4 Moor kings
that came with him

"and a great number of Moors
were killed in battle,

"and many of the women warriors
mentioned before.

"On Christians' side, victory came
but with great loss

"for many of them died,

"such as Martim Moniz,
captain of the right flank,

and Diogo Gonçalves,
both leading men."

Borja.

My name, it's Elvish.

- What?
- Elvish.

It's from the film, from...

I can't remember
the title of the film.

The Elvish language
it's from a film.

So I wrote my name
in Elvish.

It's from "The Lord
of the Rings".

My name is David
Hermida Lovelle.

I'm Pablo Tenreiro
Fernández.

My name is
Blas Ocepek.

I'm Arturo
Castañeda Cid.

Jose Giraldez Alvarez.

Daniel Redondo
Martinéz.

- How old are you?
- 23 years old.

I'm 21 years old.

Carlos Parga Méndez.

- How old are you?
- 40 years old.

And what do you do?

I'm a teacher

of Geography and History

and I'm also
a barman.

I am currently unemployed.
I'm a cook.

I'm not doing
anything now.

There are no jobs...

I was fired
from my company.

For now, I'm looking
for a job.

I'm currently unemployed,

but I'm preparing my application
for Postal Services,

that's basically it.

I also work out,
and I love doing it,

going to the gym
and bodybuilding competitions.

I was twice world champion,
once vice world champion,

and in 2008,
I won the "Arnold Classic" .

I work
in the fitness industry,

I'm a personal trainer,

among other things.

On weekends,

I work as a go-go dancer
and as a stripper...

Whatever works.

I'm an electrician,
but I also work nights,

as a go-go dancer, a stripper...
well, not much more.

How long takes a strip show
in a bachelorette party?

15 minutes.
Not more.

Pim pam, pim pam,
make a strong impression,

something nicely staged,
get it?

Just move, move, move,
pim pam pum...

You can't take an hour
just to take off your pants and shirt.

She is going to get married
and she loves her fiancée

not me,

you can't take an hour
and bore her... You just can't, right?

So you've got to make it subtle,
elegant, and quick,

well performed,
that impresses... You know?

I'm a carpenter,
I work with my father.

I've just completed
a schooling period.

And, since I didn't
want to start college

and that sort of thing...

It takes so many
years to do it,

and since there are
almost no options left,

I decided to try this,
and if it doesn't work out

I'll try something else,
but at least

I'm not spending 6 or 10 years
doing it... You know?

Do you know who was
the first King of Portugal?

No.

I haven't got a clue...

Not a clue.
Not even Spain's...

He doesn't put food
on my table...

I haven't got a clue.
I got these crazy ideas...

I knew nothing at first,
they called me and said:

"Don't bring green clothes",
this and that...

I just thought, "damn..."

they said to speak Galician,
no green clothes,

so I thought I'd find
a "chroma key" like this.

and I said "Damn,
Superman in Galician!"

Afonso I.

Afonso... VI, right?

Afonso Henriques.
Afonso of Burgundy, that's it.

In Portugal, the King
was deposed in 1910.

Why do you think
that Spain still has one?

Because part of the army
rebelled in 1936

and the man who was
in charge of it

established the King
as a successor

and the living forces
of dictatorship

commanded that
he'd stay in power.

So there he is.

It doesn't make sense
to have a Royal house

that keeps squeezing for more
and getting bigger...

And all this
at the Spaniards expense.

If I'm paying

for the King to go hunting
instead of doing his job...

It's a little unfair

when Spain is going
through a hard time,

such as we are.

It doesn't worry
me much.

I'm concerned with other
things in Spain than mornachy.

Jobs, for instance,
the crisis we are in...

The future
of my children...

"Because he defeated
5 strong kings in that place

"and destroyed much
of the Moor's strength

"and because many of his men
died there,

"he ordered to ask the Pope
to place 5 shields on the flag

"for the 5 kings defeated
and display them as a cross,

"for the cross that Jesus
had carried on his back

"and in each shield
to put 32 pieces of silver

"for the 32 pieces
that Jesus was sold for...

"for the 32 pieces
that Jesus was sold for,

"and he asked him,
for this and for the many wounds

"made in his body
during the battle...

"he asked him,
for this and for the many wounds

"made in his body
during the battle

"that he'd be proclaimed
King of Portugal...

"that he'd be proclaimed
King of Portugal

"and to be addressed as such
from that moment on

"in his letters and privileges.

"And as soon as the King
and the Cardinal

"payed tribute
to each other,

"it was time to send the letter,
as you have heard,

"the King stripped himself
of his garments and said:

"I want to show you, your Eminence,
that I am a heretic...

"that I am a heretic.

"And he showed him every wound
in his body

"and which ones
he had gotten from the battles,

in combats and cities
that he had taken from the Moors."

AFONSO HENRIQUES
DEFEATED THE MOORS

IN THE BATTLE OF OURIQUE
ON JULY 25, 1139

I've got one here...

Here.

A scar.

And here.

They took a bone...

They took a bone out of my hip
and put it in my hand.

I broke a bone right here.
A very small bone

that tennis players
break easily.

The bone was very deteriorated
when it broke,

so they took a bone
out of the hip

and placed it
in my hand.

Scars?
Hell yeah, man.

Look, there's a scar
right here.

How did you get it?

I had a spot
that really annoyed me.

You can hardly
see it, but...

This is from the car accident
that put me on leave from work.

No big ones...

I've got this one
from the bike exhaust,

this one as well,

this was made the other day,
while I was dancing...

A woman.

Here.

Oh, that's because
of the muscles,

I raised them too quickly
and I got striae.

It's a way of...

of showing what I feel inside
by putting it on the outside.

I like it because
I haven't got secrets.

It's things that hurted me and
everyone can see my past.

The name
of my mother.

- Maria?
- Yes.

And some flowers?

It's a rosary. Because
she is religious...

It always reminds me
of her.

My mother and sister died
and I did these for them.

Let's start with this arm:

these are 2 dragons.
A big dragon, for my mother

and a small one;
it's strength they've left me.

On my chest they are
the 2 swallows,

and I'm in the middle.

The love of my live
that I will find one day,

meanwhile I'm alone...

This is death. It looks like
a butterfly but it's...

it's 2 open skulls with eyes
and cobwebs.

Pain,
a swallow with a dagger.

The night they've left me
after they were gone,

and a flower,
as the scent of life.

"When pain turns into torment,
it becomes a strong master."

The other says: "Only God knows
when my time will come."

I found the sentences
on the Internet,

they relate to God

and the life I once led
from fighting, the gym...

They seemed to be
motivating enough for a tattoo.

How about that tattoo?

It's a cross
made out of three pieces.

It's my name, Alex,
in Arabic.

Why Arabic?

Well, I like the letters...

It's a tribal thing,
it has no meaning.

Have you got any piercings?

Yes, in my tongue,
in my ears, in my nipple,

in my penis, on the tip,
but I'm not wearing it.

I like original tattoos
that no one else has.

Lot's of people think
it's a woman's tattoo,

but I like it because I know
no other man has it.

Why over there?

It's because I like
the shape of it,

something crawling
around my leg,

it attracted me.

Why do they say
it's a woman's tattoo?

Well, I don't like
hearing it at first,

because I can't see why
it should be for women.

But you know,
that's what people say to me.

I don't know why...
A tree creeper...

I suppose that more women have it
than men do.

I made it when I was
little, just to get a tattoo.

I really regret it now
because it's really ugly...

- I don't like it.
- Do you regret doing it?

I really don't like it.

- But what is it?
- It's the sun.

Imagine you own a car,

a Renault Clio for example,

and you put bigger rims
on the wheels

or a spoiler to make it prettier.
But you'll not change a Ferrari!

Why should I get a tattoo?
To mess me up?

I never understood...

I don't think that something
which may please me now

will do the same for me
in 10 or 15 years.

They're cute, right?

This is the name
of my daughter.

The rest is all tribal.

This...

"I'm sorry, forgive me,
thank you, I love you"

"I'm sorry, forgive me,
thank you, I love you"

If you translate it,
you'll get something like

"Ho'oponopono"
[Hawaiian dialect]

It's not accurate,
but that's the way you say it.

It's a technique...
Of...

From that nation,
it's like a mantra.

When did you get
that tattoo?

I did it in...

- Where?
- In the gaol.

In jail.

- Why were you in jail?
- For drug trade.

- How long ago?
- It was...

In 1996.

This is the shape of the spikes
of the jail walls.

This is a butterfly,
a symbol of freedom.

This is the first drawing
they gave me

to learn how to make a tattoo.
They're thorns.

And the moon, because
the nights are long in jail.

Could you show
your profile?

Turn your back, now.

Profile.

"The year that followed
this election, in 1520,

"on the 16th of July,

"His Serene Highness D. Manuel,
was in the city of Coimbra,

"and came to this royal monastery
in the afternoon

"and ordered that the graves
of the first two kings of the reign,

"his predecessors,
should be opened.

"He found the body
of devoted King

"D. Afonso Henriques
to be whole,

"unspoiled...

"Unspoiled,

"the flesh dried and colour pale...

"the flesh dried and colour pale
and gaunt

"but seemingly stern,
as if he was alive

"with a most gentle scent.

"He was wearing a long robe
of white wool

"and a linen surplice,
both so wholly and sound

"as if it was all
just been given to him...

"The King was
10 spans long...

"and two and a half wide
on the chest

"and the leg he broke
at the gates of Badajoz

"was three fingers shorter
than the other one.

"The skull had all its teeth
except for one,

"the cranium and all the head
were large...

"in proportion with the bones
of the arms and legs,

"and comparing it to
the figure on top of his tomb

"each dimensions
were perfectly coincident,

"for this figure was itself
10 spans long,

"like History has told
about the hero's height...

"and representing it
with iron garments,

"lying on his back with a stone
for a pillow

and a golden lion at his feet."

OK.

"The sword of D. Afonso
is a two-edged sword,

"slightly diminished
in the middle.

"Its blade and grip
are both short,

"while the sharpened guard
extends downwards on both ends

and finishes with a heavy
golden disk."

"Faria e Sousa described it

"in "Portuguese Europe",
a book of 1679:

"Its pommel reminded one of a
board game

"and was five spans
between its tip and the blade.

"The blade is four spans
and a third long,

"three fingers wide on top,

"and diminishing its way down
from the tip

"which we also trace here.

"The polishing made in the sword
at the time of King Afonso

"and the one made in 1580

"obviously contributed
to its reduction,

"which was accentuated in
the removal of its rust.

"Thus, Faria de Sousa's
measures

"don't correspond to
present ones, which are:

"total height 99 cm,

"disc diameter 7.5 cm,

"guard width 14.6 cm,

"blade height 80.2 cm,

"blade width, 5 cm on top

and 4 in the middle."

"The King wished
to see the monastery

"and visit the tombs of

"And when the Prior General
showed him

"the sword of the glorious

"he took it and kissed it
with great reverence,

"telling the noblemen
that came with him:

"Those were great times,
to fight with such small swords!

"This is the victorious sword
that freed Portugal

"from the cruel subjection
