Alternative poster concept for Lavagante, directed by Mário Barroso.


A forbidden romance, caught between the intimate and the political. Set in 1960s Portugal, Lavagante unfolds under the weight of censorship and surveillance, where youth dares to defy the regime and passion burns dangerously close to tragedy.


The poster evokes memory, desire, and resistance. Suspended in time, marked by silence, and slashed by a single red stroke.
