The Portuguese House

The disappearance of his wife leaves Fernando, a quiet geography teacher, completely devastated. Aimless, he assumes another man’s identity as a gardener on a Portuguese estate, where he forms an unexpected friendship with the owner, stepping into a new life that isn’t his own.

This is a beautifully gentle and slow film which takes us on a journey through relationships, their unexpected twists and turns, and the participants' perceptions of them. Definitely a film to sink into and enjoy. We loved it and think you will too.
