Bêbado Corpulento

Lisbon, today. In a room of a house at Douradores Street, a man invents dreams and theorizes about them. The essence of the dreams itself becomes physical, palpable, visible.

It spreads itself in the street where the man lives, in the city that he loves above all and over the entire world.
