The Portuguese House

Directed by Avelina Prat

Produced by Distinto Films, O Som e a Fúria

A melancholic character study about grief and reinvention, where a devastated man escapes into a false identity and finds unexpected solace in human connection.

The disappearance of his wife leaves Fernando, a quiet geography teacher, completely devastated. Aimless, he assumes another man’s identity as a gardener on a Portuguese estate, where he forms an unexpected friendship with the owner, stepping into a new life that isn’t his own.
