Le film est présenté à la Quinzaine des Réalisateurs au Festival de Cannes 2021 Journal de Tûoa a été tourné sous régime de confinement, au Portugal, entre août et septembre 2020. C’est aussi un film de fiction. Impossible de le résumer sans en dire trop. Nous avons donc choisi de reproduire un paragraphe d’un conte de Cesare Pavese, Le Diable sur les collines : « L’orchestre reprit mais cette fois sans voix. Les autres instruments se turent et il ne resta que le piano qui exécuta quelques minutes de variations acrobatiques sensationnelles. Même si on ne le voulait pas, on écoutait. Puis l’orchestre couvrit le piano et l’engloutit. Pendant ce numéro, les lampes et les réflecteurs, qui éclairaient les arbres, changèrent magiquement de couleur, et nous fûmes tour à tour verts, rouges, jaunes.

Fátima is a hairdresser with a quiet disposition who, at night, fantasises about the policeman who has just moved in next door. By day, Vítor is a lowly employee on a TV show. But at night, he dons his neighbour’s uniform to win the favour and satisfy the desires of a boy he’s met online. In her retirement home, Júlia is unable to sleep at night and has long forgotten what drugs she is meant to be taking.
