we are forgetting.
There must be someone
we are forgetting!
Stefan, wanting to play chess
against yourself...
involves a real paradox.
It's like jumping over one's shadow.
"Nothing on earth puts more pressure
on the human spirit than a vacuum. "
"Nothing on earth puts more pressure
on the human spirit than a vacuum. "
Hello?
Who is it?
Who was it?
Nobody, dear.
Wrong number.
God!
My God!
My God!
Stefan, are you going out?
Yes, I've arranged to meet up
with young Davila. Remember him?
The young journalist Faerman...
introduced us to in
the palace of Vargas.
I think he's looking
for an interview.
Okay.
But don't be late, please.
Of course not.
Ten o'clock sharp.
By the way, have you finished...
my notes on Montaigne?
So, Herr Zweig...
what a wonderful work
are you writing now?
I have very few rules about writing,
dear young fellow...
but one of them is never
talk about a work in progress.
You can't even
give me a little clue?
Perhaps it's another book
about Brazil?
This beautiful land
where the future never arrives.
Have you ever heard
of Montaigne's "Essays"?
Voluntary death instead of being
forced to submit to servitude...
to moral and ideological
slavery. No?
No, I'm afraid not.
Tell me, Alberto, do you have
access to "me-de-santo"?
Herr Zweig, it is highly illegal.
The government forbids Umbanda.
I didn't ask you for the party line,
I'm simply wondering if you know one.
I know of somebody
who might help.
I'll see what I can do.
How beautiful
you are tonight, Leonie.
Sorry, I meant you're
as beautiful as ever!
Thank you, darling.
Look, tell Yolanda that her
cuddly favorite has come back.
Look, that American, Welles.
You see, Mr. Zweig?
One night in NY, I drank...
I literally drank your book...
your love poem to Brazil...
along with two bottles
of Wild Turkey!
Naturally I pissed out
that poisonous bourbon...
but your description of paradise
stayed right here...
and right here.
I was almost born in Brazil.
Did you know that?
No. But thank you for your
kind words, Mr. Welles.
I just wrote what I saw and felt.
Besides, paradise is only possible
when you look back.
And don't we do that
everyday of our lives?
Mr. Zweig... "tudo Brazil"!
- This means "all is Brazil"...
- I know, I know.
...the wonderful country
of the world!
All is Brazil!
All is Brazil!
Good evening.
Good evening.
Every time I see these
poor Jewish girls...
my heart sinks.
That's life, my dear.
What could we do to help them?
Nothing!
The Jews themselves exploit them.
You know,
Welles practically lives here.
He has fallen in love
with our black girls.
