Horse Money

In Horse Money (2014), Ventura is still immersed in his past, in a restless search for meaning in his life. In this film, Pedro Costa restores certain cinematographic conventions in order to create a poetic, sometimes surreal, evocation of memory. Horse Money stablishes a hybrid universe, merging the past and the present, Cape Verde and Portugal, in a dreamlike narrative: a dream where Ventura reflects upon his experiences and his past, bringing to life the aspirations and anguishes of the Cape Verdean community. Winner of Best Director of 2014 at Locarno Festival.
