The film was inspired by the letters exchanged between two leading Portuguese poets, Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen and Jorge de Sena, during the exile of the latter (1957-78). Through their poetry and their letters, the film builds a dialogue between longing and belonging, the "desire to fill years of distance with hours of conversation". At the same time, it establishes a correspondence with our own lives fictionalized under the ties and entanglements that hold us together.

6/10

would have liked to give this film a better score.

Although some looser moments - the beginning with Luís Miguel Cintra or a few "Straubian" moments of recitation - this is actually the film that most ideally meets the transgressors principles of the portrayed authors, that in terms of writing and of the film itself. As in a blood relationship, is an interior internal flow, inward, an undercurrent in which the images are words and the words are images.
