Man Up
Faz-te Um Homem
A film by André Murraças
Portugal, 2023
It's 2022 and the newspapers are reporting the controversial opening of an elite
amusement park inspired by the colonial war. There are games of black man
hunting, military training, and simulated
attacks. Vitoriano, an ex-combatant and
now a pensioner, is surprised by the news, recognizes the park's owner and decides
to go in search of him. But this search
is also a journey into a past marked
by the horrors of war, loss, and love.
