Plots(1)
The year is 2069 and the Kingdom of Portugal is in danger of losing its ruler. His Majesty Alfredo is on his deathbed, with a royal grandson running around preoccupied by a tiny model of a fire truck. The frail Alfredo is therefore lulled by the colourful memories of his youth and his boundless imagination. He recalls the time when, as a young prince, he decided to leave the ritzy family manor, filled with lavish colonial heritage, and enter the real world. A time when he watched massive fires burn through Portuguese forests and, overcome by environmental grief, he decided to take the reins into his own hands - and became a volunteer firefighter. And of a time when he found not only freedom and satisfaction in the brigade, but also sensual dancing, singing, love and burning attraction. (Mezipatra Queer Film Festival)
