Cinema is here presented as a kind of dance without music, and its performers are also the creators of the spectacle. How to deal with organisation and bureaucracy, many times oppressive, some dispersive? And what is the gaze afterall?
On a rainy night André travels from Lisboa to visit his lover in Sintra. He doesn't know that her husband just arrived from Paris and he will have to wait a long time in the rain before he can get inside the house and actually see her. Meanwhile he is tormented by his own mind, that can't stop imagining.
