Drama
Al Berto
Portugal, 1975. A time of rough changes. A young gay artist trapped in a small seaside town ran by communist winds. Al Berto, the writer, embodies an entire moving generation. He and his friends exude youth, eccentricity and hope for the future - but right after the fall of Portugal's dictatorship system, the country is not yet ready for his love story.

It's quite odd to watch this film and realise that it's not that long ago that homosexuality was illegal in Portugal. Slap bang amidst the "Carnation Revolution", optimism was high in a country recovering from decades of dictatorship and the young were at the forefront of that new-found confidence. "Al Berto" (Ricardo Teixeira) lives in what was his family home with his mother, friends, and his boyfriend "João Maria" (José Pimentão). They live quite an openly Bohemian existence and it's soon one that gradually draws the unwelcome attention of their intolerant neighbours and the equally unsympathetic police force. The first half hour of this offers us quite an engaging look at the emergent enthusiasm for change in a beautiful country so long under a cosh, but sadly as the story continues it
