Teresa Côrte-Real

A fanciful biopic of legendary conductor Arturo Toscanini as a very young man.

A train compartment, four people, a ticket collector, a Barcelos penknife and a potential assassin. Will they all make it to the end of the journey?

Erros Meus, Má Fortuna, Amor Ardente brings us a story from a small, rural village in the interior of Portugal where, by reason of a funeral, people from all parts of the region are arriving. Maria is a young woman from that village, unsatisfied with her marriage with João, who has never given her a child: her biggest desire. By cause of the funeral, Carlos arrives, and his arrival and Maria's emancipated behavior generate distrust from the other villagers. Maria, a serious, beautiful and virtuous woman, loved by every man in the village and hated by all the women, awakes in João the weakness of jealousy, and in Carlos the weakness of an old love.

On April 25, 1974, a man walked alone in Largo do Carmo. He knocked on the GNR military barracks door and entered, unarmed and without any escorts. Inside, the Government’s chief, Marcelo Caetano, waited, surrounded by the military and the people. The man who stared at him that afternoon and demanded surrender, guaranteeing his safety, had just led Santarém’s Artillery 1 regiment in taking the capital. Without firing a single shot, he managed to overthrow a regime that was over 48 years old. That was the last step to take and he took it, without hesitation, becoming the unavoidable figure of the day that marked the beginning of democracy in Portugal

This odd film is a major representative of an even odder film genre: direct-to-celluloid opera. It was commissioned by the Portuguese master of style, director Manoel de Oliveira from composer João Paes. Musically, it ranges from 19th-century romanticism to popular, modernist and even "post-modernist" styles. In the initially tame story, a host-narrator tells the story of a wedding between the two lovebirds: Viscount d'Aveleda and the beautiful Marguerite. However, what happens in the bridal chamber is incredibly bizarre. The events after that are even stranger, and the wedding guests and family indulge in cannibalism, among other perversions.

Three generations of a family living together in an idyllic villa juggle the demands of their wedding planning business and their own personal crises.

A Impostora

Stories that make us reflect on how we live and on what is the value we give to life. It reinforces the importance of living in the present rather than in the past, an error in which Artur and Carolina fall as soon as they wake up on the same day after years of absence.
