Statement:
Ricardo
Elias. The narrative retells the classical myth of Hercules
from a modern and contemporary point of view -it is not a
literal adaptation. The myth is simply a reference point used
to discuss issues regarding working life and the difficulty
of finding work in the globalized world we live in today.
Production Company:
Politheama Filmes was born as the result
of a split of A.F. Cinema e Video Production Company, where
Van Fresnot has actively taken part in all films as the company
associated manager, working as producer and executive producer.
