Synopsis

A man faces his approaching death. He takes a journey, his last perhaps, and ends up at the Pensão Globo in Lisbon, where he sets out on an aimless excursion through the city. The film depicts a life in a state of transition. “Sometimes it’s like I’m already gone, become a ghost of myself.” —IMDb

    Amazing film, amazing visuals, music, sound effects, framing, the double images. A pristine vision of life too. Things got a little weird about 2/3 into it, but I felt they leveled out.
