Synopsis

Inspired on the true story of the portuguese king Don Pedro (14th Century) which unburied his mistress to make her queen after dead. This film tells the story of Pedro, a man admitted to a psychiatric hospital for traveling by car with the corpse of his beloved, recalling simultaneously three different lives: one from the past, another from nowadays and another one from an distopic future.

“This chaos in my head and that often makes me confuse time with time with time. I travel between to be and not to be, between being and not being, and this, makes me tired, confused, uncertain. I have no past and no future, just the present and I think that's my disease.” in the novel Inês’s Braid by Rosa Lobato de Faria.
