THE ART OF DYING AWAY

Portugal - 2020
Feature Film by Júlio Alves

Arnaldo and Bárbara are in the process of a divorce. The reason for this divorce, perhaps even the couple doesn’t know, in fact doesn’t matter. It would be an easier divorce if there was not the existence of a turtle. Attempting to find a destination for the animal, among adventures and misunderstandings, the divorce is being postponed. When the couple finds a destiny for the turtle, they realize there may be no reason to give it away. But it is too late. The turtle follows on its own way.
