An unparalleled sample of modern political cinema where imagination meets documentation and unconventionality meets bucolic imagery. In the third and final part of Miguel Gomes' Portuguese epic, magic returns along with characters from the previous two parts in a chaotic, life-like epilogue.
Synopsis
In Portugal, a European country in crisis, a director intends to forge fictional stories from the sad reality. Finding it difficult to find meaning in his work, he quits everything and leaves the beautiful Scheherazade in his place. She will have to show enthusiasm and courage to not make the King bored with her country's sad stories. In the third one, she doubts that she can satisfy the King with her stories and decides to escape, traveling through the kingdom in search of magical pleasures.
