After the Official Selection at the Venice Film Festival with a long standing ovation, one of the biggest applauses in an official screening, and the amazing reviews from the main international press, the film premiered yesterday in the Bell Lightbox screening room at TIFF – Toronto International Film Festival in Special Presentations, followed by a Q&A that lasted more than an hour with the filmmaker Tiago Guedes, the actor Albano Jerónimo and the producer Paulo Branco.

The film is also nominated for Goya Awards in the category of Best Iberoamerican Film.
