PROJECTO GLOBAL

Ivo M. Ferreira is a Portuguese film director known for his poetic and visually striking style, often exploring themes like memory, identity, and history. One of his most notable films, Letters from War (Cartas da Guerra, 2016), brought him international recognition with its intimate portrayal of love and war. His work stands out for its artistic approach and emotional depth, making him an important figure in contemporary Portuguese cinema.

Lisbon, 1980s: the revolution and the euphoria of freedom are now in the past. The country is going through troubled times—factories are closing, workers are raising barricades, and politics dominates every street corner. Amid cigarettes, music, prostitutes, and sailors, broken dreams and uncertain hopes are shared. As social tensions intensify, the FP25, a far-left armed group, emerges. Its members follow a path of no return, living clandestine lives marked by bank robberies, attacks, friendship, and love, all under the constant threat of prison or death. As they abandon everything and everyone except each other, they begin to lose their own identities, while the inspector pursuing them faces a moral dilemma of his own. IMDB
