Sinopse

The city of Porto is the setting for an impossible film where the character dies and dies throughout the days, nights, winters, rains and darkness in a very long sequence shot, probably the longest ever filmed in this street. In different shots of the same route, a different performer each time will invent his way of dying, facing the architecture of the place, the emblematic streets of the city and pure fantasy: rain, snow, colored smoke (in the form of special effects thrown to the performer with the pinpoint precision of a choreography worthy of a musical). One might suspect that agony lasts through all the seasons of the year, or that it harbors all the images in the world. A wheel of fortune that does not stop dying. — Luciana Acuña & Alejo Moguillansky
