Resistencia

Synopsis of Resistencia

In 'Resistencia', Rosa Aneiros transports us to the political and social history of Portugal, from the twenties to the nineties. Through the lives of Dinís and Filipa, we witness the repression during the dictatorships of Salazar and Marcelo Caetano, and the struggle of the clandestine anti-fascist resistance. In this context of adversity, love stories flourish, highlighting that of Dinís, a worker, and Filipa, the daughter of a merchant. Their love becomes an act of resistance against misery and oppression, in a novel that explores the complexity of love in difficult times and the search for freedom.
