About Manoel’s Destinies
When the child Manuel wanders into a garden that is off-limits to him, he meets an unidentified fisherman, and another boy -- the boy is actually himself several years down the road. Manuel experiences three different versions of his encounters in the garden, revealing that fate can have several twists and turns in one's life, depending on decisions that are made early on.
Directed by Raúl Ruiz, Manoel’s Destinies leans on a strong ensemble — Ruben de Freitas, Teresa Madruga, Fernando Heitor — 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 fantasy titles of 1984.
