Verão danado
Damned Summer
Träge Nachmittage, Drogen, gebrochene Herzen, psychedelische Stimmungen eingetaucht in Musik. Ein Adrenalinstoß. Lissabon als Kulisse einer dahintreibenden Jugend. Chicos Sommer beginnt daheim, bei seinen Großeltern, im Schatten des Zitronenbaumes. Hier sind seine Kindheitserinnerungen zu Hause. Doch jetzt gehört Chico nach Lissabon, wo er studiert hat und wo er einen Beruf zu finden hofft. Chico ist Teil einer Generation ohne Aussichten und Erwartungen, die das Erwachsenwerden hinauszögert. Seine Lissaboner Nächte sind voll psychedelischem Hedonismus, trunken von Zärtlichkeit und Liebeskummer, wo brennende Angst sich in Euphorie umzukehren vermag.
Educated at ESTC (Lisbon Theatre and Film School) where he presented the short lm Estranhamento as part of his thesis, Pedro Cabeleira has decided to delve into the heart of his "people" with his first feature-length lm about youths who seem to be hyper-hedonistic on the surface, but who hide an ineffective and touching fragility. Damned Summer guides us by the hand into a Lisbon populated by characters of unrealistic and individualistic beauty, desperately driven by a desire to share their life experiences. The lm portrays characters teetering on the edge, yet somehow unexpectedly keeping their balance. (Muriel del Don, Cineuropa)
