Rita Blanco and Ruben Alves on Grande Entrevista. Loss of Lisbon's identity "is already a reality" but "is not inevitable"

RTP Notícias9 September 2026 at 23:50

Rita Blanco and Rúben Alves are the protagonists of Grande Entrevista. During the conversation, they addressed the loss of Lisbon's identity, which they consider to already be a reality, although they argue that it is not an inevitability.

Director Rúben Alves decided to create his new film, "Santo António, the Matchmaker of Lisbon", inspired by the tradition of Santo António weddings, which brings couples together in Lisbon during the month of June to celebrate marriage with the blessing of the city's patron saint.

The film opens in cinemas across the country in the coming days, presenting itself as a tribute to the Lisbon tradition associated with Santo António.
