Adelaide

Leviano

59th TIFF: International Premiere

Auto-destructive Adelaide, prudent Julia, and complacent Carolina are three sisters that grow up under the gaze of their mother, a former winner of the “Miss Portugal” pageant who feels that ageing affects her maternal instinct. When the mother disappears during the celebration of her 50th birthday, the three daughters set off for a fiery journey of self-discovery, accompanied by an unexpected male company: a trip to the unknown that will soon end up in tragedy… A chronicle of one of the most controversial crimes ever committed in Portugal, through the lens of a great new talent.
