John From, João Nicolau, Portugal/France, 2015, 98'
We continue with the season focused on Portuguese cinema. Once a month we invite a contemporary filmmaker to present their work and to choose a film related to Portugal that is a reference for their career. In this occassion, we will watch a film by João Nicolau, presented by himself.
Tropical Lisbon: Rita and Sara are two teenagers who spend their summer days sending each other secret messages, playing the organ at the civic centre and wandering from one place to another. Until one day they discover an exhibition on the South Seas and their lives changes to a scenario of palm trees, ukuleles and tribal masks. It will also be a time of love and fantasy, colour and adventure.
