A PLEASURE, COMRADES!
a film by José Filipe Costa
2019 / 105 min.
1975, the year after the Carnation Revolution. Eduarda, João and Mick come from Northern Europe to work in the co-ops in the occupied farms of central Portugal. Like many others, they come to help with the land and the livestock, give medical appointments, family planning classes, show sexual education films and participate in the traditional dances. They bring a great deal of questions, but the “comrades from the South”, in turn, have more questions than answers:
– Comrades, do you want to know how we behave? Do you want to know who we are? How we treat our women and children? How we interact with each other and how we love? Come! We will find each other peculiar, and we will surely disagree on many things, but it’s all part of this revolutionary celebration!
