The Stone Dreams to Blossom

A Pedra Sonha Dar Flor

Portugal 2024 Fiction cor 101 min.

In a dark time, writer K. Maurício immerses himself in his work “The Death of the Clown”, becoming a hostage to impossible dreams. Pita, a facilitator, manipulates words and people, enjoying a cynical game with those around him. Between crimes and hallucinations, between the gothic of the night and the decadence of the arena, runs a hopeless story. Based on the work of Portuguese writer Raul Brandão (1867-1930).

Presented at the Buenos Aires International Independent Film Festival (BAFICI).
