The cycle includes 16 films, some of those for the first time screened in Portuguese movie theatres, which are key to understanding the French cinema and the French film masters, who belong to the Nouvelle Vague generation and "have changed the way cinema is made", as Serge Daney, French movie critic, used to say.
