"Laurinha," the documentary, brings back from oblivion and silence the great Laura Alves, one of the best Portuguese actresses of all time. In this documentary, we get to know a woman with boundless energy and unafraid to speak her mind. We discover her life, the people she shared moments with, her family, and her loves. We also explore what motivated her immense dedication to her work and confront her tragic, premature end, marked by illness and loneliness.

She is one of the most influential and remarkable artists. With a vast body of work, Olga Roriz has built a foundational piece of Portuguese contemporary dance. Filmed over two years, this documentary takes us on an intimate journey through the creative and intense worlds of this dancer and choreographer, as well as through the demanding daily construction of a show, culminating in its presentation in Paris.
