Teresa Madruga

Miguel Gomes (Tabu) won Best Director at Cannes for this period drama set in Burma in 1917, following a civil servant running away from his engagement, with his jilted fiancée secretly on his trail.

Winner of the Critics and Alfred Bauer awards (the latter for "opening new perspectives in film art") at Berlin Film Festival 2012, this romance is told in two parts shifting between contemporary Portugal and colonial Africa.
