THE DEAD QUEEN

Portugal/ France/ Brazil - 2018
Feature Film by António Ferreira 

Inspired by the true story of the Portuguese King Dom Pedro (fourteenth century), who unearthed his beloved to crown her queen after her death, Pedro and Ines recounts this unparalleled passion story over three eras: - in the Middle Ages, where everything originally happened, in the present time where Pedro and Ines are architects in a big city and, in a dystopian future, where people flee from the cities to the countryside to survive, immortalizing this peculiar love story throughout the ages.
