The Strange Case of Angelica
Adapted from a screenplay he first wrote over a half-century ago, Oliveira's new film is a magical tale of an impossible love.
Late one night, a young photographer named Isaac (Ricardo Trêpa, the director's grandson and frequent collaborator), is summoned by a wealthy family to take the last portrait of their daughter, Angelica (Pilar López de Ayala/In the City of Sylvia), a beautiful new bride who has mysteriously passed away.
Arriving at their estate, Isaac is struck by Angelica's beauty, but when he looks through his lens, the young woman appears to come to life. From that moment, Isaac will be haunted by Angelica day and night.
