A satire of Bergman´s "The Seventh Seal"

Depressed by unemployment and a complicated marriage, a man decides to die. He meets Death in a night club, but then decides to take it back. They resolve the dilemma by playing a snooker game.

This is an unpretentious satire of "The Seventh Seal" by Bergman. A very funny Brazilian short movie.

Portuguese-language cinema, spanning Portugal, Brazil, and other Lusophone regions, focuses on history, cultural identity, and the struggles of ordinary people, often framed with poetic or allegorical storytelling. In Portugal, cinema has emphasized meditative pacing and philosophical depth, reflecting on memory and tradition. In Brazil, it has often been politically charged and socially vibrant, highlighting inequality and resilience while experimenting with popular and avant-garde forms.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.
