About
When a poor street puppeteer who always contrives happy endings for his performances falls in love with a girl with a troubled past, their love seems like it might save them from the poverty they have endured. Ernesto de Sousa’s social realist film explores life under the Salazar regime and was a forerunner of the Portuguese New Wave film movement. This rarely seen gem will screen in a new digital restoration.
Ages 15+ | Contains mature themes and stylised violence
