Director Ruben Alves presents his new film, "Santo António: Lisbon's Matchmaker". The film features well-known actors from the Portuguese public, namely Rita Blanco and Joaquim de Almeida, who bring the characters of this story to life.
The film constitutes a portrait of the city of Lisbon, exploring the tensions between tradition and the changes the city is undergoing. According to the synopsis, local tradition fights for survival in the face of the growing phenomenon of tourism in the Portuguese capital.
The premiere of "Santo António: Lisbon's Matchmaker" was scheduled for this Thursday, when the film would reach movie theaters for the Portuguese public.
