Mais Tarde

During the investigation of a case, Teresa Rubens, a judge with a long career, married and mother of children, finds in court, as a defense witness, a former lover of her student days, Sousa Afonso, who owns some lands in Alentejo.

Directed by Fátima Ribeiro, Mais Tarde leans on a strong ensemble — Rogério Samora, Margarida Marinho, Paulo Matos — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2001.
