India

Three generations of Portuguese men who live between dreams, lost glories and existential crises find their lives intertwined with a wander-woman, a warm flâneuse who sends letters that detail her wanderings. A film in opposition to the idea of a gentrified city, introducing a bouquet of incredible, offbeat characters: Tiago, a tour guide, has had his heart broken, and, in his cuckolded desperation, he leads Karen, a grieving Brazilian woman approaching old age, around a Lisbon of strange suicidal heroes. Tiago lives with his father, Raul, an old sailor haunted by historical defeats, and with his son, Manuel, a teenager who, living in a bubble, dreams with the preparation of a solitary, but erotic, trip to the cosmos. Karen is almost a specter between these three generations of men and has for a confidant a letterbox, in which she posts letters to her late husband, tales from a happy past life. Raul goes along with his son Tiago’s reveries and together they take Karen through dreams, lost glories, and catastrophes to meet a fallen hero who disappeared many centuries ago on an island in the South Atlantic Ocean
