Director and researcher Leonor Areal proposes a game: Where is Pessoa? Starting with a short film that records dozens of people leaving a theatre in Lisbon on a Sunday afternoon in 1913, the director sets out to scrutinise, frame by frame, millimetre by millimetre, the crowd in search of the poet Fernando Pessoa – of whom, until now, no moving image was known. Could Pessoa really have been there? The film investigates this possibility. The viewer will find their answer.
