Sinopse Original Original Sinopsis

Um jovem inquieto com cabeça na lua termina mais um turno atrás do balcão de um bar de engate. O regresso a casa é feito pelo caminho mais longo. Há a noite e as sombras que nela se escondem que desejam ser descobertas – antes de a manhã acabar por iluminar aquilo de que não consegue escapar.

Sinopse Internacional Sinopsis

A restless young man with his head in the clouds finishes another shift behind the counter of a cruising bar. He takes the longest path on his way back home. He faces the night and its hidden shadows willing to be discovered – before morning comes, unfolding what he can’t escape from.

Mensagem do Realizador Director Statement
Six years ago, after finishing film school, I undertook a side job in a bar in downtown Lisbon, under a light that made me homogeneous with all the bodies that would gather there, a little like the nuns’ cloth makes them look the same in an abbey. We shared a curious feeling of brotherhood. Desire and loneliness united us. The process of self-acceptance, in people who have grown up hiding what they are, is a complex one. So it is the feeling of shame that can be disguised in countless ways and at times it can lead the ashamed one on a journey of self-destruction. The story for this film came from this place and time, from notes on what I observed and on the stories that costumers and colleagues told me. I wanted to bring into film the portray of someone who is a romantic, but dominated with contradiction and his own passions; someone who seeks to be loved, but does not know how to love. When Paulo leaves the bar, he walks through the night, every night. The places he previously experienced with a sense of crime become familiar, nothing is strange to him anymore. He experiences an evasion from home, while gradually returning to it. Determined to defend his vacillating and insatiable notion of freedom, this boy becomes “an inconstant lover / that betrayed himself” (Mário de Sá-Carneiro). Each one of us has their own path, their own journey to walk. The film shines a light on these encounters, it is an attempt of affection.
