LUXEN Movie
Serpentina
2023·Runtime unavailable·★ 2.5
Portuguese original
Oliveira do Hospital, 1995. A screenwriter looking for inspiration, a failed actor trying to get back into the spotlight, and a suitcase full of cash hidden in a chimney. These are the ingredients of Serpentina, whose characters, while trying to make a movie, find themselves in a gangster film they don't know how to get out of. This film is part of the Contado Por Mulheres (Told by Women) project. This is a unique project in Portuguese audiovisual media that brings us the freshness of new female directors, all from different generations and recognized for their talent in various areas such as cinema, theater, dance, and advertising.
