Биографическая документальная драма о семье режиссера Катарины Васконселуш. Ее бабушка Беатрис вышла замуж за ее деда Энрике в день, когда ей исполнился 21 год. Энрике, морской офицер, был вынужден надолго уходить в море, а Беатрис оставалась дома, на берегу. Она любила наблюдать, как тянутся ввысь растения, и воспитывала шестерых детей. Ее старший сын Жасинту (Гиацинт), отец режиссера, в детстве мечтал стать птицей. Внезапно Беатрис умерла... Мама Катарины умерла не внезапно, но это произошло, когда ей тоже было 17 лет – как и ее отцу, когда он потерял свою маму. В тот день они с отцом стали ближе друг к другу, и их отношения уже больше никогда не были просто отношениями родителя и ребенка.

Amor Fati seeks out parts that complete each other. These are portraits of couples, friends, families and pets and their owners. They share the intimacy of daily life, habits, beliefs, tastes and even some physical traits. From their faces, from the choreography of their gestures, we unveil the story that binds them.

“Campo de Marte” (The Field of Mars) was in the ancient times Rome’s training arena for war. At the outskirts of Lisbon, “Campo” hosts today Europe’s largest military base. In this place military troops train fictional missions, astronomy aficionados observe the stars and a boy plays the piano for the wild deers lurking in the dark.

The National Ballet of Portugal is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Since its foundation, it has aimed to present the great classics, as well as to always welcome contemporary creations. Day-to-day life is demanding for dancers, choreographers, musicians, répétiteurs, seamstresses, light technicians, sound technicians, and other elements of a large staff that make it possible for dance to travel through the rehearsal rooms and linger in the hallways before making it onto the stage. This film follows not only the company’s creations and premieres, but mainly each dancer’s silent and structural work.

A film about a show and the issues the players face during their collective artistic work. Will we ever be able to leave our cocoons towards a collective movement? How strongly do we believe in those who should lead us? How strongly do they believe in us? We try… We fall… We rise… We try once again… Will we ever make it?

Sebastian is a wealthy young man. He finds out he has a flat tire and ends up accepting help from a Gypsy passer by. In return Sebastian will have to give him a ride home - but they won't reach their expected destination.

A portrait of a first relationship, previous to the external world, the one of the family. In a winter in Lisbon, father, mother, son and daughter trace the path of a day by themselves. A film that develops through characters who have for their antagonist life itself, with nothing (and everything) heroic about it.
