Written by Alves do Ó, the film is set in Grândola, southern Portugal, and follows four 40-year-old friends who decide to spend a weekend by a luxury pool. Their initial relaxed mood will not last long, as each of them receives a call from David, a former lover to all of them. After being absent for years, he decides to drop by for dinner at the holiday resort. Old stories and unfulfilled dreams will inevitably start to surface. Ricardo PereiraOceana BasílioNuno PardalRicardo Barbosa and Rafael Gomes are playing the leading roles.

The biopic of the cult Portuguese post-revolutionary poet, who embodied an entire generation in the mid-1970s, has been sold to more than 25 countries, and has been screened at the Miami and Guadalajara International Film Festivals, among others.

On the new deal, Cosimo Santoro, founder of The Open Reel, stated: “I am really happy to be working with Vicente again, after our wonderful collaboration on Al Berto, because he is a director who can pair his artistic vision with the audience's expectations.
