Lost in Lisbon? These two friends turned getting nowhere into pure cinematic poetry.
Two friends cannot find their way around the city of Lisbon. It is a film, which could be a poem, that has no genre and serves as a bridge between the narratives, forms, and dreams of the characters they encounter.
Cinematography
Lisbon becomes a labyrinth of light and shadow.
Direction
Serpa directs himself through pure instinct, not GPS.
Writing
Dialogue dissolves into poetry; plot into possibility.
Director
Frederico Serpa
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Serpa cast himself and real-life friend Martim Guerreiro, blurring documentary and fiction.
