Synopsis
Two Portuguese poets, Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen and Jorge de Sena, exchanged letters during de Sena’s exile. Their correspondence is a testimony to their quest for freedom during Portugal’s fascist regime, but also offers an insight into the profound affinity between two human beings.

Our take
Affection and longing imbue the correspondence at the heart of Rita Azevedo Gomes’ poetic essay, conveyed through living tableaux in which the director’s friends read the letters, reflect, perform. Images, words, languages and sounds are woven together into an intimate, contemplative constellation.
