Inferno (1999) by Joaquim Leitão
MOTELX 2021
Once a year, ten men who fought together in Mozambique, during the Overseas War, meet in a restaurant on the outskirts of Alentejo, near the border of Portugal and Spain. On that day, Nunes, the owner, dismisses the cook, closes the place to the public and hangs a banner on the wall with the Rangers' insignia and motto: ONE FOR ALL, ALL FOR ONE. A motto that is also an implicit pact, which not all of them fulfilled and even today overshadows the relationship between them. But this time, due to the presence of a prostitute and a hunt that ends in a shooting, things will take a turn for the worse... Ten actors in a state of excellence, in particular Rogério Samora, Nicolau Breyner and the surprising Júlio César, in a film taking place in one single night and ending in a Peckinpah style shootout at the border.
