Batatinha" revolves around the iconic clown and is an original story, never seen on the big screen. Duarte Henriques proposes a profound exploration of Batatinha, indelibly interpreted by himself, as a man struggling to find his place in the fractured society of Lisbon. Selling his services as a clown during the day, Batatinha dreams of having his own television show. Trapped in a cyclical rut of apathy and cruelty, Batatinha makes a decision that will set off an uncontrollable chain of events in this dark character study.
