Lisbon's traditional Saint Anthony's Weddings have hit rock bottom. At least, that's what Stardust, a major French multinational poised to take over the event, believes. Carmo and Valentim, two Lisbon City Hall employees who have spent more than 25 years organizing the celebrations, are given a harsh ultimatum: reinvent the event and turn it into a modern success, or lose their jobs. Directed by the filmmaker behind The Gilded Cage, Saint Anthony is a vibrant comedy and a heartfelt love letter to Lisbon. A celebration of human connection, identity, and cultural resilience in an increasingly globalized world.

In 1982, 10-year-old Vasco lives with his mom in a small town. He's obsessed with Space:1999, devours books and films, defies mom with petty rebellions. He never met his dad but watches him from afar, and learns that growing up ain't easy.

Catarina Menezes is a bisexual TV reporter who decides to have a child on her own and chooses Spanish humanitarian doctor Rafael to father the child, setting up an elaborate charade to lure him into her bed. When Catarina reveals her pregnancy, though, her current live-in girlfriend doesn't take to it kindly and promises to make Catarina's life hell; to make matters worse, Rafael finds out her true identity and comes to Lisbon to see her. And Catarina's sole refuge is in the arms of fellow journalist Francisco, her professional relationship slowly becoming a romantic one.

Gender equality is bullshit, but that's going to change! Or is it? If until now this was a club for smooth-talking gentlemen, the film marks the debut of Détinha (Ana Bola), the legendary wife of Zezé (José Pedro Gomes). Decades of life together remembered as best as possible: their children's antics, the neighborhood where they always dumped their trash, the wedding that only those who were there forgot. From polyamory to fitness, from prostate "prostheses" to uterine "ovens," this couple has no taboos. But Zezé and Détinha have some secrets from each other... Unfortunately (or regrettably, Zezé would say), the Portuguese will have to find out. What a load of crap.

A young man from a high-bourgeois family, Henrique receives mysterious phone calls from a woman at the barracks where he is serving in the military, which attracts him to meetings without consequences.

An intriguing story about a family and a manor house (where some terrible crimes were committed in the past by a member of that family) adapted from a novel with the same title by Tabajara Ruas.

Neves and his wife Celia are the owners and managers of the 'Little Star Pension', a familiar hotel that caters to bourgeois family and would-be actors, instead of the ill-reputed 'Good-Night Pension' (just across the narrow street), where gigolos, whores, and criminals of all sorts may go for a quick encounter. However, not all is well among the ten residents of 'Little Star Pension': each dialogue line from every hotel guest is evidence that he, or her, has a reason (actually, more than one) to hate Neves - to the point of wishing him dead. Carelessness (or devious intention) by one party will provide the means; another, will create the propitious moment; yet another, and then the rest of them will create the festive New Year's Eve occasion - to do with Neves forever! Obviously, only the famous world private-eye Hércules Pirôt can solve the crime... for which he is called by phone, even before the deed is done.

The elder matriarch of a dysfunctional family is mistankenly declared dead.

In a time preceding the Carnation Revolution, we meet two men: one young, one old. One is fleeing the country, and the other helps him escape through Trás-os-Montes. While they make “the leap,” they speak about their lives and their troubles… This is an ode to those who fought for Freedom, and to these fifty springs that have passed. Throughout 13 performed songs, we travel across the country, hand in hand with several Portuguese people who tells us their stories through music, until we get back to this young man who runs away and returns to Lisbon, shortly after the Revolution, to reunite with his loved ones and live in freedom.
