that it will..."
"never be achieved,
this wholeness,"
"we suddenly don't know
how to live the time..."
"that can no longer be
part of the whole life."
Better?
Or worse?
Better.
- You feel as if you wrote the book yourself?
- I would like to then.
Talks about everything
that preoccupying him for years.
Better? Or worse?
Worse.
Tell me one of these
beautiful sentences you read.
"The real director of life
is accident --"
"a director full of cruelty,"
"compassion and bewitching charm."
By accident, he means fate?
randomness chance.
Let's take a break,
rest your eyes for a moment.
You are a man
who does not sleep well.
- You can tell?
- The eyes reveal everything.
Look at these eyes.
Tell me what they reveal.

Tire, but persistent.
Contradictory.
Why would his sister
pretend that he is still alive?
I have no idea.
Shall we resume?
So you met a woman in a red coat
who disappeared...
- ... and you just dropped everything?
- Then I read the book.
I would love to be able to do that,
just drop everything...
- You do that often?

- I suppose it is.
- How clear is it? The image.
- Very clear.
And how about this?
Everything is in focus.

"The decisive moment of life,"
"when its direction

loud and shrill dramatics."
"In truth, the dramatic moments
of a life-determining experience..."
"are often unbelievable low-key."
"When it unfolds
its revolutionary effect..."
"and make sure that life that it revealed
in a brand-new light."
"It does that silently."
"And in this wonderful silence
resides its special nobility."
Now you wonder if
the old pair were better.
- Yes.
- But they are not, are they?
No, they feel very light.
Getting used to them
will take some time.
- You take credit cards?
- You can sort all that out with my receptionist.
Before you go...

across the Tejo (river Tagus).
I called him last night
and told him about you and the book.
I told him you want to know about Amadeu
and he said he'll talk to you.
He was in the resistance.
I must warn you,
my uncle can be difficult.
In what way?

is still battling to come to terms
with what happened.
When the resistance began,
the Secret Police were extremely brutal.
To this day,
