Living, Loving, Longing Lisbon

An ageing film star collapses on a sunlit pavement. An invisible office worker boards a storm-tossed ferry, uncertain whether she'll ever return. A woman who loves women struggles during the dictatorship. A knife-grinder's reedy melody drifts up an Alfama street, awakening a lost love. A lawyer's obsession burns down his life. Two mice get spectacularly drunk on ginjinha cherries. A date in Sintra is flawless — perhaps too flawless. A wanderer seeks out a mystical well. A writer finds that an empty page can be a new beginning. And a chance encounter over a key unlocks a sweet Christmas.From miradouros to metro tunnels, these tales by a chorus of local voices will take you on an unforgettable journey across the city of Lisbon.
