18 Holes to Paradise

2026 · 107 min

A slow, talky gathering where old wounds and property disputes simmer under polite conversation, leaving a quiet unease.

Overview: A family with a long history (and many members) gathers around a table in a mansion in southern Portugal. The region has transformed from a depressed area into a thriving tourist destination. Kisses, hugs, and greetings quickly turn into complaints and reproaches surrounding the big issue: What should be done with Daddy’s house? It is a tempting piece of cake, laden with rich family memories. But progress cannot be stopped.
How it feels: Tense, melancholic, satirical and dark. Measured and needs your attention.
