La Durmiente
2025 · 0h 20m · Drama
If you're in the mood for something genuinely inventive and thought-provoking, YES—this is a bold, unconventional approach to historical drama that uses child actors and creative re-enactment to breathe new life into a forgotten story. Skip it only if you need instant gratification; this is arthouse filmmaking that demands engagement, but it's the kind of night-at-home discovery that stays with you.
Plot
During a dynastic crisis in 14th century Portugal, the 10 year old Beatriz enters into a forced marriage to become the country’s new queen. At the Monastery of Sancti Spiritus in Toro, where the tomb of Beatriz is located, this story is re-enacted, re-imagined, and recreated with children of the same age. As their imagination is allowed to roam free, a different way to interact with their country’s history opens up.
