"Tons de Verde" is a short fiction film to be made in 2025, in the municipality of Reguengos de Monsaraz. It is based on the experience of growing up in a place where time is slow, in a time when time never stops speeding up.
Synopsis
Inês is the daughter of a well-known architect in the area where she lives. Driven by her family's reputation, Inês studies hard for her 12th grade exams, aiming to enter a prestigious university. Days before the exam, forced by the sudden appearance of beings that emerge from her notes and drawings, Inês rethinks her current path. These beings, initially threatening, help our protagonist to find what really led her to her studies.
This film is being made by film students, so our resources are limited. Therefore, we are looking for funding to carry out this project; even the smallest ones count!
Thanks.

About the author
This film is being made by Film students from the Escola Superior de Teatro e Cinema, who want to use this film to talk about their experiences as a young person in Alentejo, trying to give a more realistic portrait of the region than the stereotyping found in so many places.
In this sense, we are looking for support to help us develop the film, given our limited financial capabilities. Any amount brings us closer to our goal, so even the smallest contribution will have an effect on the production of our film.
