09/10/2013 - The MGN Filmes production is the adaptation of the 1999 best-seller by Margarida Rebelo Pinto, with Leonor Seixas in the lead

In 1999, a novel named Sei Lá by first-time author Margarida Rebelo Pinto became an instant local best-seller. Its unexpected success, which came along with not so unexpected bad reviews, led producer Tino Navarro (MGN Filmes) to buy the rights of the novel. Fourteen years later, Sei Lá is finally being adapted for the big screen under the direction of Joaquim Leitão.

A sort of sex-and-the-city-type of plot centred on a female universe, Sei Lá tells the story of Madalena, a 30-year old journalist who is trying to move on with her life after a disastrous love affair with a basque terrorist. Writer Rebelo Pinto co-wrote the script along with producer Navarro.

Actress Leonor Seixas (photo) leads a cast which also includes Rui Unas, Patricia Bull, Ana Rita Clara, Rita Pereira and David Mora. Lisbon and the Alentejo region will be sets for this film whose theatrical distribution is scheduled for February 2014 by Zon Lusomundo Audiovisuais.
