A painter who burned too bright for his 30 years — ever met someone too alive to survive?
Amadeo: a mysteriously restless and indefatigable man as if always sensing brevity of the time he had left. An artist out of definition, whose painting questions the painting itself, indomitable, scandalous and misunderstood. For being «Infinitely» according Almada, is someone who never had the time within him. How many lives are there in Amadeo de Souza Cardoso’s brief life?

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Real Cardoso paintings were digitally restored and animated for the film — his actual work literally breathes on screen.
Cardoso was Portugal's missing Modernist link until this film; even most Portuguese couldn't name him before 2023. Now he's getting his due.
