In order to avoid sending his wife and children back to Brazil, Jorge, an unemployed boxer, accepts a job as a debt collector in a milieu full of crime and violence. São Jorge from the film-maker Marco Martins (Best director in the Festival of Macau) is a hard analysis of the consequences of the Troika intervention in Portugal. It was chosen by the Portuguese Cinematographic Arts and Science Academy to represent Portugal in the Oscars Ceremony as best foreign film, as well as in the Goya awards as best Latin American film. São Jorge is a film full of memorable moments with beautiful photography by Carlos Lopes. The actor Nuno Lopes won the Prize Orizzonti as Best actor in the Venice Festival, where the film had its world premiere.
