Our Father – The Last Days of a Dictator
2025Portugal, 1968. Salazar, the longest-serving fascist dictator, falls from his chair and suffers a stroke. Returning to his Palace to recover from illness, he is no longer President. No one reveals this him: neither his loyal housekeeper, nor his hard-working maids, nor his doctor. Does Salazar want to overcome death and perpetuate his power? How can he stay sane in that hallucinatory Palace?
