A theater troupe exhumes the ghost of Portugal's most dangerous woman — and she refuses to stay buried.
This fictional documentary traces a poetic cartography based on the journey of a theater group to São Miguel, Natália Correia's birthplace, and Lisbon, where she lived most of her life. It passes through Botequim, Assembleia da República, Hotel Britânia, Teatro Micaelense, Parque Terra Nostra, and so many other places once inhabited by Natália and now by these actors who help us to unearth the myths, ghosts, and pains born in the life and work of Natália — one of the most important figures in Portuguese culture, literature, and politics, before and after April 25.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Natália Correia was instrumental in Portugal's Carnation Revolution yet remains criminally under-recognized outside Lusophone circles — this film is part reclamation project.
The title references Correia's actual death posture and her refusal to perform femininity 'properly' — lying down, silent, grateful.
