Portugal, 1950. In the South, battered by the wind, by misery and hunger, rich families own the land, and poor families are left with despair or rage. There, sudden violence erupts: a succession of cold-blooded murders occur over a single night. Why? What’s the origin of these crimes?

Adapting Manuel da Fonseca’s classic novel, Sérgio Tréfaut travels back to impoverished 1950s Portugal for his sophomore feature. As much an investigation into the country’s class relations as a suspenseful whodunnit, Rage proves a staggering, desolate drama, reminiscent of the films of Béla Tarr.
