In Lisbon, an ageing English actor and a young Portuguese man forge an unlikely alliance to track down their missing friend Irene, a beautiful young painter whose passion has touched both of their lives. Despite their differences, a deeply meaningful friendship slowly starts to develop between the two. Featuring an outstanding central performance by Robert Pugh (Master and Commander), this tale of loss and recovery is beautifully realised, subtly reflecting the humour, drama and poignancy of life.
