Ballet Rose
When the Portuguese police began to investigate, in 1967, an illegal prostitution network, they ended up stumbling upon a huge secret that could shake the foundations of the republican regime: a select group of prostitutes who organized parties with teenage girls to secretly satisfy the sexual desires of bankers, politicians, ministers, aristocrats and powerful businessmen: the Ballet Rose Case.
Jacinta
The story of Jacinta, one of the three children involved in the Marian apparition reported in 1917 at Cova da Iria, in Fátima, Portugal.
Requiem
What is the nature of life? What is the nature of art? How can art influence our lives? These are the questions of this movie. The main character, a man who lives both in the world of dreams and reality, searches his past, in order to understand its meaning. He has meetings with the ghosts of his dead friend, his dead lover, his dead father and Pessoa, the great portuguese writer. These four encounters give him clues about what he is looking for. Beside that, he finds himself in front of art, discovering how it modifies our comprehension of life. It's based in one of Tabucci's (the italian writer)books: "Requiem". This few lines cannot resume the greatness of this movie. The last thing I can say is: If you like art, I recommend you to see it. If you ever wonder about the nature of dreams, or you live in dreams half of the time, I think you'll feel like this movie was made for you.
