tragicomedy / HD / 24’ / 2025
Nighttime. Inês has to hand in the manuscript of her new book by midnight (she hasn't even started it). Her journalist friend Luis is sick of his newsroom, where he earns little money and is the only black journalist. She doesn't want to be alone while she writes and calls him. He suspects her bipolar disorder is back and goes to see her.
