Feature Film
Direct cinema and fiction blend in this silent portrait of two lovers in a city being transformed by progress. We see them in the dark sitting in a decaying structure like the remains of the night, too exhausted to look back or forward. During the day we see them engaged in their work separately, as the structure they frequent, which is in the middle of a park under construction, continues without them. Selection by DocLisboa.
