A Vida Privada de Salazar
3.8
Na fase final da vida de Salazar, o estadista recorda a sua vida, as suas opções, as decisões que tomou e as que podia ter tomado. Dar a conhecer o homem por detrás de quem governou Portugal durante 40 anos foi o grande desafio: Salazar, enquanto estadista, é conhecido do grande público. O mito do estadista estóico, convictamente religioso e assexuado tem o contraponto neste filme.

Dina e Django

Apr 29, 1983
Dina (Maria Santiago) is a teenager brought up by her grandmother, employed as a housekeeper for a fairly well-off family. Since Dina only has her grandmother, she spends her time fantasizing about her life and reading comic-book love stories -- activities that do nothing to improve her dim perspective of reality. Due to these handicaps and her own inexperience, she gets involved with Django (Luis Lucas), a shady character who decides to use her as bait to attract men and then rob them. One day when both are in a taxi with robbery in mind, the driver gets suspicious so Django shoots him, and so does Dina. She escapes and runs away -- though it seems like she has learned too little too late. This story unfolds against a time of upheaval in Portugal (mid-1970s) when the military government is formulating a constitution and social changes are happening everywhere.

Liens de Sang, c’est l’histoire de deux sœurs que le destin a séparées, et qui se retrouvent bien plus tard… Inès et Marta sont deux sœurs qui n’ont cependant pas grandi ensemble. Séparées dans leur enfance, chacune a fait son chemin de son côté, et à l’âge adulte, elles se retrouvent enfin. Mais cela n’a rien de joyeuses retrouvailles : les circonstances font aujourd’hui d’elles des ennemies. La présence entre elle et João, un séduisant jeune homme, ne vient évidemment pas arranger les choses… Il y a quelques années de cela, un drame s’abat sur la paisible famille Nogueira. En effet, lors d’un Pique-nique familiale au bord de la rivière, leurs deux fillettes Ines et Marta tombent à l’eau et sont emportées par le courant. Leur père se jette à l’eau et réussit à sauver l’aînée Inès. Dans sa tentative désespérée de sauver la cadette Marta, il y perd la vie et le corps de Marta n’est jamais retrouvé. En dépit de la souffrance que sa famille a traversée et le sentiment de culpabilité qui l’a toujours animée pour avoir été sauvée au détriment de sa sœur, Ines est aujourd’hui une femme battante, déterminée, aimable et généreuse. Lorsqu’elle et Joao se rencontrent, ils comprennent qu’ils sont faits l’un pour l’autre. Cet amour sera mis à rude épreuve avec l’arrivée de Diana. Diana est en réalité la sœur d’Ines, Marta que tout le monde croyait morte dans l’accident qui a coûté la vie à leur père Joaquim. Traumatisée à la suite de l’accident, la petite Marta est recueillie par une modeste famille, qui l’adopte en la baptisant Diana. Des années plus tard, lorsque la mémoire lui revient, Diana décide de retourner dans sa véritable famille et de se venger de sa sœur Ines, qu’elle juge d’une part responsable de la mort de leur père et d’autre part responsable de la vie misérable qu’elle a été contrainte de mener.
