Inquietude

Inquietude presents a series of interconnected stories, each reflecting on different aspects of life and death. The film includes segments such as "The Immortals," which adapts a play by Helder Prista Monteiro, where two doctors discuss the impact of aging and mortality. Another segment, "Suzy," is based on an Antonio Patricio tale set in the 1930s, focusing on the life of a young courtesan facing death in the operating room.

The anthology also features "Mother of the River," inspired by an fable from Agustina Bessa-Luis that contemplates the concept of eternal life. This multifaceted approach to storytelling provides a rich exploration of existential themes that resonates with viewers and collectors interested in thought-provoking cinema. With contributions from notable Portuguese filmmakers and actors, Inquietude stands as a distinctive piece in the landscape of late 20th-century film.
