Award-winning director Pedro Costa’s Horse Money follows Ventura, the enigmatic lead of Costa's ground-breaking Colossal Youth (2006), as he traverses a seemingly endless night populated by the ghosts of the past. Winner of the Best Director prize at the Locarno Film Festival, Horse Money is a spellbinding nocturnal contemplation of Portugal's tumultuous past – and a reminder that politically rooted cinema need not just inhabit the realm of the strictly real.

Horse Money is preceded by Costa’s short film Our Man (2011), a controlled and hypnotic work that blurs the lines between life and death, reality and fiction.
