(IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1739258/)

   WORLD PREMIERE

VATAÇA is a medieval evocation, inspired by the historical character of Lady Vataça of Lascaris. 

Princess Vataça came to Portugal with Queen Isabel of Aragon for her wedding to King Dinis of Portugal (13th century). She died in Coimbra and her impressive tomb in the Old Cathedral of Coimbra is surrounded by double-headed eagles, symbol of the Lascaris dynasty and the Byzantine Empire. In this fiction, VATAÇA's passion for a young gardener is returned. In a parallel narrative, we discover their love, punctuated by some anachronisms. This love is represented by a dancer, Vataça's soul. Isabel tells Vataça that, by decision of King Dinis of Portugal, she will marry an old man of the court. Years later, Vataça and the gardener meet again.

Um Homem Branco, 46 anos, que nunca conheceu a Metrópole, nascido e criado em Moçambique, sargento na unidade de tropas especiais do exército colonial português.

Um Homem Negro, 27 anos, que não conheceu África, criado em Lisboa, finalista de engenharia no Instituto Superior Técnico, entusiasta dos ideais de esquerda.

Os dois encontram-se em Moçambique, em plena guerra colonial, quando o Homem Branco, na conclusão de uma operação especial no mato captura o Homem Negro, acabado de chegar a África como voluntário para a luta dos movimentos de libertação.

Perdidos em território de guerra, os dois encetam uma caminhada em busca do aquartelamento colonial mais próximo. Durante essa caminhada encontram uma Enfermeira do exército português, alferes, também perdida no mato. A inversão das características destas personagens dá uma nova perspectiva da guerra colonial portuguesa e leva ao absurdo as razões de todas as guerras, do racismo e da posse da terra.
