action
The Anglo-Saxon diplomat's son Jake lives in Porto and keeps afloat with odd jobs. While doing an auxiliary job in excavations in the area, he meets the French archaeologist Mati. The introverted Jake and the self-assured Mati fall in love at first glance and spend a very intimate and fulfilling night together. Looking forward and looking back, the film then shows positive and negative scenes, which show Jake sometimes as an obsessive lover who does not accept rejection, and sometimes shows the deep bond between the two. Once you see Mati marrying her former professor and lover João, about whom she already told Jake and who did not keep his marriage and children plans from him. Then again you see João as a divorced man visiting his daughter at Mati's, and Jake and Mati continue to meet.
