The first and only feature film to date by influential editor Manuela Viegas (Costa's O Sangue, João Cesar Monteiro's Silvestre) is a stylish coming of age tale and a moving portrait of the slow death of a rural Portuguese town. Co-written by Viegas and Joaquim Sapinho, Glória is a nuanced exploration of first love's dangerous exhilaration, awakened in the eponymous thirteen-year-old by the release from prison and homecoming of the stationmaster's older and enigmatic son. A central figure of the Portuguese film scene of the 1980s and 1990s, Viegas taught alongside Reis in the Escola Superior.
