Portugal, 1968. Salazar, the fascist dictator who reigned the longest time in the world, falls from a chair and suffers a stroke. When he returns to the São Bento mansion to convalesce, he is no longer President of the Council. But no one tells him the truth: not his faithful housekeeper Maria de Jesus, nor his maids Aparecida, Socorro, and Teresinha, nor his personal doctor. For two years he lives under a meticulously constructed illusion, believing he is still President, until his death in 1970.

Our Father: The Last Days of a Dictator is a Portuguese drama arriving May 28, 2026, depicting the final years of Salazar, Europe's longest-reigning fascist dictator. After a stroke in 1968 leaves him incapacitated, his household maintains an elaborate deception, allowing him to believe he still holds power until his death in 1970. The film explores how those closest to him enabled his grip on reality to slip away.
