Recap
To explore current practices of political dissidence, we look back into history and the experiences of a young artist. Margarida Tengarrinha, invited to go underground in Portugal in the latter half of the 20th century, played a crucial role in the antifascist resistance, working as a document forger to support political militancy. Employing temporal anachronism, the film unfolds like a letter to the future, a premonition of the tragic possibility that history may be repeating itself.
