IFFR will open with the world premiere of the Portuguese feature “Providence and the Guitar” by João Nicolau, which festival director Vanja Kaludjercic described as “a generous and witty film which places the present alongside echoes of the past.”
Inspired by a short novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, the film follows Leon and Elvira, two performers trying to keep their stage careers afloat. The film marks the acting debut of Salvador Sobral, one of Portugal’s best loved musicians and the winner of the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest.
