Synopsis: One of the greatest titles in Portuguese cinema, which interweaves several narrative lines in its plot – the rehearsal of a theatre adaptation of Alexandre Herculano’s ‘The Fool’; the articulation between the present (post-revolution Portugal) and the historical past (the foundation of nationality; the fall of the empire); the lives of the performers in their daily lives.
With extraordinary mastery, José Álvaro Morais creates rhymes and frictions with other forms of artistic expression and draws a broad generational portrait. A masterpiece!
