IT IS WHAT IT IS (2026)

É O QUE É


“In a mountainous landscape in northern Portugal lies the small village of Aboadela. Here we meet a group of young men who pass the time playing cards at the village’s only café, talking about a future that seems to lie elsewhere. An atmospheric and soulful reflection on ambivalence in the face of what lies ahead.” - GOTHENBURG FILM FESTIVAL
