Arabian Nights: Volume 1, the Restless One

Portugal in crisis – the director is immersed in his new film, however, he fails to find meaning in his work so he turns to the young and beautiful Scheherazade who, with courage and enthusiasm, will try to change her ill-fated destiny and not bore the King with grim stories of the unrest sweeping the land. This three-part film by a distinctive filmmaker who attempts to give an up-to-date account of his country. (Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)
