Chaves | Maria José Maria – Between Short Films Festival

Fiction, Drama, Fantastic

On the same night that a dismembered and decapitated body is found on the city streets, Maria José wakes up startled by her mother’s absence. The authorities endeavour to find the perpetrator of this heinous crime, but are soon faced with unexpected circumstances. In Hitchcockian style, this psychological horror film, with both gore and absurd humour, is inspired by a true story that horrified Portugal in the mid-19th century.
