Lisbon's traditional Saint Anthony's Weddings have hit rock bottom. At least, that's what Stardust, a major French multinational poised to take over the event, believes. Carmo and Valentim, two Lisbon City Hall employees who have spent more than 25 years organizing the celebrations, are given a harsh ultimatum: reinvent the event and turn it into a modern success, or lose their jobs. Directed by the filmmaker behind The Gilded Cage, Saint Anthony is a vibrant comedy and a heartfelt love letter to Lisbon. A celebration of human connection, identity, and cultural resilience in an increasingly globalized world.
