Humberto Rocha

A son of a butcher, who is miserable working in his family’s business, avoids touching meat at all costs just because he doesn’t have the guts to tell his father he wants to be vegan.

In a small fishing village, two boys are forced to take part in drug trafficking. When the eldest plans to escape, the younger one is forced to deal with the adversities of being left behind.

A 10 year old girl is taken to a man who never recognized parenthood.

Documentary about the life and work of the writer Luandino Vieira – one of the most solid and brilliant voices in Portuguese-language literature. "Green Ground of Written Birds" follows Luandino Vieira's return to Tarrafal, where he lived for 8 years as a political prisoner. It is from there that part of the stories of Portugal, Angola, and Cape Verde on their way to African independence is retold. Just months away from the year when Portugal will have lived as long under democracy as under dictatorship, this documentary is made from the struggle for freedom from within the prison, from the living memory of those who crossed time and faced it through a new literature.

A political musical film about a Pink Jacket that always has something up its sleeve. In the comfort of its home, Pink Jacket uses couture and torture to stitch up the opponents of the system. Mónica Santos has already won twice the Audience Award at Curtas with “Between the Shadows” (2018) and “Amélia & Duarte” (2015).
