In a year when the Portuguese presence in this relevant Festival has stood out very justly, both due to its size and to the recognized quality of the entries, the prize attributed to Leonor Teles confirms the talent of the young director and the represents the crowning of much effort, aiming to consolidate the prominence of film made in Portugal.
