‘The idea of life as a process of repetition and rehearsal, of art as a rehearsal of life, began to form in my mind’. Manoel de Oliveira
A film entirely shot in a theatre, in which successive characters take to the stage and expose "their case" (based on a text by José Régio), in an action that is also repeated successively. Four versions of the same story, first from the perspective of a stage play, second from the perspective of a silent film, the third as in a 1950s film and finally from a biblical philosophical perspective.
This film will be presented with Portuguese subtitles.
