I Only Rest in the Storm (2025)

EDIT
“Pedro Pinho presents us with an almost irreconcilable scenario. Despite this, the director doesn't dare to exterminate his protagonist's idealism. All in all, there's a certain brutal optimism in this film. [Full review in Spanish]” –

Youth (Homecoming) (2024)

EDIT
“Because much of the story happens in provincial areas, the audience becomes a privileged observer of actions that have not yet been affected by modernity. It is a bittersweet farewell to the characters. [Full review in Spanish]” –
