Rapsódia do Absurdo
António, a middle-aged Portuguese poet, finds his manuscripts coming to life, manifesting as absurd scenes from his own verses. He wanders through Lisbon where metaphors become reality: street lamps recite sonnets and fish at the market engage in philosophical debates. As the line between artistry and madness blurs, António must strike a bargain with his own most eccentric character to force the words back onto the page before he dissolves entirely into the chaos of his own imagination.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film walks a tightrope between poetic parable and surreal farce, offering an immersion into creative disintegration rather than a conventional plot. The director employs visual metaphor with precision, where each absurd element feels like a crystallized stanza of verse.
What lingers after the credits is a peculiar resonance—an admiration for the mind's playfulness shadowed by unease for those who let their fantasies too near. This is a cinematic palimpsest where echoes of Beckett and Pessoa murmur beneath layers of wit. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Cláudia Nunes
Best Watched
A mad carnival of meaning in near-empty trams and on old town cobblestones.
