Francisco Carneiro crosses musical trails with the security of someone who feels at home. Born in Braga and trained in various instruments and musical genres, the young musician prepares to star in CINEX's next programme.

In a cineconcert where music and cinema speak the same language, Francisco Carneiro accepts the challenge of composing new themes to accompany the live performance of the film Diary of a Chambermaid (1963), an essential work of surrealist cinema, brought to the big screen by Spanish-Mexican director Luís Buñuel.

Based on the novel by Octave Mirbeau, this film follows Célèstine, a young woman who embarks on an intense journey that leads her to move from Paris to the French countryside. After joining the Monteil bourgeoisie, with whom she has no sympathy, Célèstine begins to think about leaving her job, until she discovers the rape and death of a young girl. Suspicious of Joseph, a fascist who also works for the Monteils, she decides to stay at the house, getting involved in an investigation to find out who is guilty and get a confession.

Now, sixty years after its release, this classic of French cinema receives a new soundtrack by Francisco Carneiro, who occupies the gnration stage on April 24th, at 9:30 p.m. More information and tickets available at gnration.pt.
