Lisbon after dark: six strangers, one night, zero survival guides for the heart.
THE LOVEBIRDS intertwines six stories about love, friendship and survival. The film stars an international cast of American and Portuguese actors who create a colorful mix of off-beat characters that lead us through a complex labyrinth of emotions. Set in the old Romanesque city of Lisbon during the course of one night where love is the art of survival. Written by Anonymous

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Bruno de Almeida spent years in the NYC indie scene before returning to Portugal to shoot this love letter to Lisbon's nocturnal underbelly.
The six-interwoven-stories structure was already exhausted by 2008 (Crash, Babel), but this film's refusal to connect everyone keeps it honest about actual urban alienation.
