代表葡萄牙参赛奥斯卡的《一千零一夜》二部曲《一千零一夜II：孤独之人》，不同首部曲的天马行空，改以沉稳的叙事反映社会现实，透过小狗「迪克西」的角度，看尽现代人的冷漠与伪善， 富饶趣味地包装社会议题，同时为寂寞带来全新语言。狗儿充满灵性、惊喜的表现，毫无悬念地夺得本届坎城影展「狗狗金棕榈」奖，超级吸睛。Continuation of the Arabian Nights stories by the structure were adapted to modern life in Portugal in three innings and the third chapter "The Owners of Dixie" has three chapters.
