Ventura, an elderly Cape Verdean immigrant living in Lisbon, is seemingly the inmate of a cavernous, antiquated psychiatric ward. As he traverses a seemingly endless night, an odyssey into his real, imagined and nightmarish memories begins.
From Portugal’s greatest living filmmaker comes this dreamlike hallucination of a lost soul belonging to the country’s repressed, abused, misused and forgotten underclass. With his rivetingly poetic political cinema, Pedro Costa gives the unheard and unseen a voice and a true cinematic presence.
