Race

The vicissitudes of a bourgeois family and the conflicts emerged between brothers - Dr. Manuel Bernardo, wise and weighted, and Zecas, libertine and Capricious - who ignore his kinship. Two girls mark the sentimental vector: one defends the danger that threatens the threat, the other does not know how to react and is the victim of her ingenuity, a dream of restless youth ...

Directed by Augusto Fraga, Race leans on a strong ensemble — António Sacramento, Carmen Mendes, Paulo Renato — 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 1961.
