“GRAND TOUR”^PT

More than a Cinema Street, this will be the Cinema Patio, where the urban spirit is transformed into a cinematic experience with the screening of a feature film programmed by the project CISMA Cineclube.

Miguel Gomes’ seventh feature film, which won him the Best Director award at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, takes us to Rangoon, Burma, and the year 1917. Edward, a civil servant for the British Empire, runs away from his fiancée Molly on the day she arrives for the wedding. On his travels, however, panic gives way to melancholy. Contemplating the emptiness of his existence, the cowardly Edward wonders what happened to Molly… Challenged by Edward’s impulse and determined to marry him, Molly follows the trail of her fiancé on the run through this Asian Grand Tour.
