    • After having saved a beautiful Portuguese woman from leaping to her death, Swiss Professor Raimund Gregorius (Jeremy Irons) stumbles upon a mesmerizing book by a Portuguese author, which compels him to suddenly abandon the boring life he has led for years and to embark on an enthralling adventure. In search of the author, Gregorius acts as detective, pulling together pieces of a puzzle that involves political and emotional intrigue and the highest possible stakes. His voyage is one that delves into the realms of history, philosophy and medicine, encountering love and evolving into a liberating search to find meaning for his life.
