Screen can reveal the first trailer for Filipa Reis and João Miller Guerra’s Directors’ Fortnight title Legua.

Portuguese filmmakers Reis and Miller Guerra co-directed several documentaries before premiering their fiction feature debut Djon Africa in Rotterdam’s Tiger Competition in 2018.

Legua is their second feature and is set in a fading manor house in northern Portugal, and follows three generations of women as they seek to understand their place in a changing world.

The film is produced by Reis’s own prod­uction company Uma Pedra No Sapato, alongside co-production outfits Laranja Azul from Portugal, France’s KG Productions and Stayblack Productions from Italy.

Luxbox handles international sales.
