work includes: the drama MAR which was directed by Margarita Gil; THE GREAT

MYSTICAL CIRCUS opposite Vincent Cassel; the role of ‘Samuel’ in THE WIND

TURNS, which premiered at Locarno; and AN EASY GIRL, by Rebecca

Zlotowski - which won the Directors’ Fortnight prize for best French-language

film at Cannes. Nuno played the leading role of ‘Boxer’ in the Netflix series

WHITE LINES, for which he received widespread international acclaim. His most

recent work includes: the feature GREAT YARMOUTH: PROVISIONAL FIGURES

which reunited him with director Marco Martins; the French feature film AZURO;

Céline Devaux’s EVERYBODY LOVES JEANNE which premiered at Cannes; as

‘Samuel’ in Tiago Guedes’ REMAINS OF THE WIND; and BAD LIVING which
