    • 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.
