18 Holes to Paradise

In the arid Alentejo region of southern Portugal, a large family gathers for the last time on a family estate that is about to be sold. As the relationship between sisters Francisca and Catarina intensifies due to disagreements over the future of the home they grew up in, Susana, the daughter of a long-time employee and housekeeper of the estate, expects her mother to be taken care of as she retires. Social satire by director João Nuno Pinto (Mosquito, 2020) follows the events from three different perspectives, slowly revealing all the characters before the culmination of the events. The film premiered in the competition program of the Tallinn Film Festival.
