Watch Lusitanian Illusion (2010) Official Trailer
6.4 / 10 IMDb April 22, 2010 1h 5m
Images and sounds expose the duality of Portugal during the days of WW2: a peaceful, god-loving, rural country, providing an escape route for over one hundred thousand European refugees to the Americas; and a political and cultural elite that disguised their Nazi inclinations just enough to play its neutral role in international politics.
