Description
A chance encounter with a mysterious book on a bridge in Bern compels Latin teacher Raimund Gregorius to abandon his life and board the night train to Lisbon. There, he embarks on a profound journey into the life and mind of Amadeu de Prado, the enigmatic author whose words have captivated him. As Gregorius delves into Prado's philosophical writings and the complex history of his family and friends in Salazar's Portugal, he uncovers a world of intellectual fervor, passionate love, and political resistance. This quest for understanding becomes a transformative exploration of identity, memory, and the very essence of what it means to live authentically.
