Al Berto
Portugal, 1975. A time of rough changes. A young gay artist trapped in a small seaside town ran by communist winds. Al Berto, the writer, embodies an entire moving generation. He and his friends exude youth, eccentricity and hope for the future - but right after the fall of Portugal's dictatorship system, the country is not yet ready for his love story.

"Al Berto" (Ricardo Teixeira) lives in what was his family home with his mother, friends, and his boyfriend "João Maria"…
