Story: The film was inspired by the letters exchanged between two leading Portuguese poets, Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen and Jorge de Sena, during the exile of the latter (1957-78). Through their poetry and their letters, the film builds a dialogue between longing and belonging, the "desire to fill years of distance with hours of conversation". At the same time, it establishes a correspondence with our own lives fictionalized under the ties and entanglements that hold us together.

The Portuguese poet and essayist Jorge de Sena was forced to exile his country for twenty years, first in Brazil and later in the United States. In all that time (1959-1978), he maintained an interesting epistolary correspondence with the also writer Sophia de Mello Breyner Andersen. Those letters are the testimony of the deep friendship that united them, letters of longing and desire to fill years away with hours of conversation. Thus, through excerpts and verses read and recited in the film by countless actors or collaborators, a perspicacious dialogue is established that reveals opinions at times divergent, but always united by a firm bond that both would strive to preserve until the last breath.
