CINECLUBE DE TAVIRA • Magalhães

16th Century. Magalhães, a young and ambitious Portuguese navigator, rebels against the king's power, who does not support his dream of discovering the world. He convinces the Spanish Crown to fund his bold expedition to the legendary lands of the East.

The journey is exhausting beyond expectations, with hunger and mutinies pushing the crew to their limits. Upon reaching the islands of the Malay Archipelago, Magalhães's mind changes. He becomes obsessed with conquest and conversion, triggering violent revolts that spiral out of his control. This is not the myth of Magalhães, but the truth of his voyage.
