Nazaré

1952 · 84 min

A stark, salt-soaked portrait of hard coastal lives, heavy with quiet dread and the constant threat of loss.

Overview: The sea, often treacherous, is the only source of living of the people of Nazaré. The film tells the story of António and his family, where no dreams are allowed. There is also the mourning of the woman in black wailing silently on the beach or waiting for their children lost in the sea.
How it feels: Melancholic, bleak, earnest and tense. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Survival, grief, family, politics
Content: Mild violence and language. No gore or sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
