Lisbon, 1 November, the Day of the Dead. Joaquim, a young mathematics graduate who has just lost his Mathilde, ends up with a chance companion at a restaurant where, every year, a macabre gathering remembers the dead who haunted their lives. Everyone talks of death and of the women it seems to stand for. Then old Martim takes over: a communist militant who opposed Salazar, was condemned and deported, and became a sailor, he tells a kaleidoscopic love story about old Tilda, half prostitute and half faithful, his one thwarted love, in which Joaquim can read his own life.
