about the project

For a low budget short film produced by a group of Danish filmmakers.

Synopsis: Nana travels around Southern Europe and has just arrived in the city of Cascais in Portugal. On that same day her belongings get stolen from a café. The waiter lets her leave without paying, but the same rules do not apply at the hotel, where the receptionist will not let her stay overnight. In desperation, she resorts to more extreme methods and meets a man she thinks might let her spend the night. It turns out, however, that Nana was not right in her prejudices and therefore finds it difficult to execute her plan.

Shooting in the period of 25/10/2021 – 01/12/2021 in Cascais.

Transport expenses (from ex. Lisbon) and catering will be covered by the production.
