Film Synopsis
Paul visits Lisbon with the ghost of the great writer Fernando
Pessoa. Between midday and midnight, he will encounter, by chance
or as a result of tracing his past, a panoply of people, those who are
now living in Lisbon or ghosts from the past, in a strange
spatial-temporal collage between the living and the dead.
