The Green Years
Directed by Paulo Rocha
Produced by Produções Cunha Telles
A coming-of-age romance set in 1960s Lisbon that explores class tensions and youthful desire through the collision between a provincial shoemaker's apprentice and a worldly housemaid.
Nineteen-year-old Julio heads to Lisbon from the provinces and gets a job as a shoemaker for his uncle Raul. But when he meets Ilda, a confident young housemaid who becomes a regular shop visitor, his working-class values collide with the bourgeois trappings of modern life.
