Our Tell-Tale Heart

In a community recently shaken by a local tragedy, 12-year-old João and his alcoholic father make a living from fishing. However, the effects of climate change on the business, the ghosts of their past and the father's increasingly erratic behavior could lead to their separation. It is in the next-door neighbors that João meets an unlikely family that could be his only hope for a different future.

In a near-future dystopia set inside 22nd-century's Portugal, a Leader and a Court Jester face off with the future of the new regime at stake. Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's short-story.
