1. 1. Manhã Submersa

   

   A young boy is sent to a Catholic seminary in rural Portugal, where austere routines and moral strictures stifle his emerging sensibility. Through lyrical recollection he navigates friendship, desire, and guilt, while the beauty of the world beyond the cloister exposes the contradictions of imposed faith. As he comes of age under an authoritarian climate, the struggle between obedience and freedom pushes him toward a decisive break and a search for an authentic self.
