In a small rural town where gossip and faith intertwine, Marianela tries to raise her children amid unspoken rules and lingering silences. While her daughter Dolores falls in love with an impossible figure and her son Isidro begins to attend church on his own, suspicions, rumors, and ecclesiastical secrets begin to leak through the cracks of the neighborhood. Menos averigua Dios is a dark comedy about double standards, informal power structures, and the small acts of resistance that shape everyday life in tight-knit communities.

Poster for Who's Afraid of Zurita de Oliveira?

2026 · ★ 0.0 (0)

This film celebrates the life and work of Zurita de Oliveira — musician, performer, composer, and author — widely recognized as the pioneer of rock & roll in Portugal. She turned music into an act of defiance, forging a path at a time when there was little room for free-spirited women. Through songs and testimonies, the film reclaims her memory and transforms her previously unheard lyrics into a gesture of resistance, sung and performed by the women of today.

Ophelia comes to her first lesson at the ballet studio. But there is one nuance that sets her apart from other ballerinas. Ophelia is overweight. Every now and then she touches the other students with her hips, overweight the bench, and blocks the reflections of the other ballerinas in the mirror during class. Ofelia is not able to perform the movements as professionally as others, but it does not discourage her. At some point, Ophelia hears a familiar word from the coach: "Fondue!" While the other girls begin to perform ballet techniques, Ophelia freezes in place and drowns in memories of the cheese delicacy of the same name.
