Al Berto
Directed by Vicente Alves do Ó
Produced by Ukbar Filmes
A poignant portrait of a young gay artist navigating identity and love in post-dictatorship Portugal, balancing youthful hope against social constraint and historical upheaval.
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.
