THE PHARMACISTS

THE PHARMACISTS
By Catarina Sousa César

GENRE: Drama
LOGLINE:

On the last day of a small village pharmacy, in Portugal, four pharmacists (three women and one man) face the daily chaos of bureaucracy and the invisible pains of the community. In a pharmacy crowded with customers, between prescriptions and small acts of resistance, they discover that listening can be a radical act. 

SYNOPSIS:

In a small village in Portugal, we follow the last day at a pharmacy run by four pharmacists: Dina, Sandra, Rogério, and intern Patrícia. Daily life seems routine, but amid the customers' adventures, sanitary pads, and discontinued pills, a microcosm emerges that reflects the great contemporary crises: precariousness, female fatigue, contempt for care, and loneliness.

As the day progresses, absurd requests, silent protests, and small personal revolutions arise; a woman enters with false criminal accusations, a student influenced by AI challenges the pharmacist, an elderly woman confesses to visiting for the company and not for the medicines, and when the pharmacy becomes a space of emotional resistance, a miracle happens to one of the customers whose cure was in the mind. At the end of the day, Dina and Sandra decide to take action: they leave condoms and menstrual pads as free gifts. A symbolic gesture in a world that continues to tax women's bodies.
