Palaces of Pity

Directed by Gabriel Abrantes and Daniel Schmidt

With Alcina Abrantes, Ana Rita Franco, Teresa Castro, Gabriel Abrantes and Daniel Schmidt

Haunted by their own directionless lives, two pre-adolescent girls reunite while visiting their ailing grandmother. In the midst of her fantasies of a medieval past - one consumed by fear and desire - the two girls are transformed and confront a legacy of oppression, juxtaposing their budding identities to a trial condemning two Moorish homosexuals to burn at the stake.
