A portrait  of  Lisbon  drawn  through  the  peregrinations  of  two  unfit venerable brothers  across the city
After  MISTS   (Brumas),  it  is the  second  film  (comedy)  of  a  biographic  trilogy  on  human wanderings

Ricardo is a professional photographer                                                              António is a retired clock maker

Unexpectedly, he arrives from Paris, where he was ran over by a car getting cripple shortly after his vacancy in Hat Yuan

He walks up and down the city hills                                                                        to heal his leg

Ricardo takes photos of the city                                                                              to make some money

                                                                                     ​THEY MEET UNCOMMON PEOPLE
                                                                                                                     

A crazy English speaking youngman                                                                    LI, who makes oil paintings

Ricardo meets

the astrophysicien                                                                                                   who makes him see farther than his binoculars

António meets old friends

Argentina, one of the most beautiful girls he met                                                Quim, the newspapers seller near the Cinema Piolho

old friend Lunetas, a prominent Lisbon intelectual                                            Goffredo and Fernando, experts in time matters

        BOTH SHARE A NEW FRIENDSHIP

She Is introduced by António.                                                                             Ricardo thrills her with some books from his library

Certain can´t be read.                                                                                            Then she looses the thread

Mariana, the University of Lisbon student in Classical Studies, reeds about Theseus, Ariadne, the Labyrinth

and waits for the photo to be taken

António heals his leg at last                                                                                                      Gets tired of Lisbon

Improves locomotion                                                                                           Says good-bye to his friends

Ricardo will be the last one to know                                                                  he will  leave  the country  for  a long trip next  day

Philosophy and expertise made him understand that there are no reasons to stay

He loves exotic fruits                                                                                          enrapturing landscapes like those of  Nosy Komba

And there he goes                                                                                              while Ricardo stays

stepping on ambiguous sentences written on  the ground along the quays which lead nowhere

He often  goes  there to watch the sea when the sun sets

Ricardo will be the last one to know                                                                 he will  leave  the country  for  a long trip next  day
