Luís returns to Lisbon after a decade away. The city greets him with familiar scents of coffee and sea, but everything has changed — especially himself. An encounter with his former lover Mateus in a random bar sparks conversations long overdue. The 2026 drama explores not just the personal story of two men, but the very phenomenon of encounter — how chance becomes destiny, and the past proves not so past after all. Director João Pedro Rodrigues constructs the narrative through silence and glances, where what remains unspoken carries more weight. The film balances between nostalgia and hope as the characters navigate whether one can truly start over with so many unsaid words lingering between them.
