Date: 2015 (Copyright)Countries: Portugal, France, Germany, SwitzerlandDirector: Miguel Gomes
Synopsis: Portuguese director Miguel Gomes sets out to adapt the Arabian Nights, but is concerned about undertaking the venture during a period of economic crisis. His solution is to create a film that blends Scheherezade’s stories with real-life tales gleaned from the experiences of Portuguese people grappling with the consequences of the recession. The collage of stories include an elderly criminal who becomes a folk hero as he successfully evades the police; a judge who oversees a case involving 13 stolen cows, a group of mail-order brides, a genie and a machete-wielding human lie detector; and a Maltese poodle who shuffles between households in a recession-stricken estate.
