After the death of the poet Fernanso Pessoa, one of his alter-ego(s), Ricardo Reis, comes to Lisbon to visit the grave of Pessoa. What follows is the endless reveries of duality which wakes and subsides in a man walking to find his own grave and lost breath. Each sentence reverberates life, disconnection and perhaps the bridge, art.
