New short film by João Mendes Pinto

The archival images are accompanied by two voices of contemporary Paralympians that reminisce on their work as athletes and the way they and other people have dealt with their disabilities.

A medieval tale about a soldier and his responsibility in announcing the tragic death of the King in combat.

An anxious young man struggles to accept his vulnerabilities whilst on holiday in an upper-class summer residence in Sardinia with his overtly masculine family.

In a rural periphery in the midst of transformation, agricultural machines devastate the fields and the places are haunted by an eternal gloom. Out of the flames, the bells are reborn, invoking the presence of the community.
