Description

Lisbon, 1938. In a Europe haunted by the specter of totalitarianism, Pereira, a journalist dedicated throughout his life to the news section, is commissioned to direct the cultural page of a mediocre newspaper. Pereira has a somewhat funereal sense of culture and prefers the literature of the past. In need of a collaborator, he contacts the young Monteiro Rossi. And the intense relationship that is established between the old journalist, Monteiro, and his girlfriend Marta will crystallize in a personal crisis, an inner maturation, and a painful realization that will profoundly transform Pereira's life.
