Jaime Fernandes was a peasant born in Covilhã, in central Portugal. At 38 he was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and admitted to Miguel Bombarda Hospital, where he would reside until his death at the age of 69. In the last four years of his life, and due to the influence of the social and hospital environment, he produced a short, but extraordinarily prolific, body of pictorial works. Filmmaker António Reis (with the help of Margarida Cordeiro, his wife and a psychiatrist at Miguel Bombarda) portrays the life and work of this man from the artistic legacy he left. A fundamental work of New Portuguese Cinema.

Jaime will be screened in its new digital restoration.
