Santo Antoninho Square. Good Evening. Bica Neighborhood. “António!” shouts a feminine shadow. Knife thrusts. The victim runs along the funicular tracks until he reaches, panting, the Ruins of his (?) own Memory.
Six female apparitions emerge at a window with different views on the life and the personality of one António, a bon vivant from the Bica neighborhood, lover, husband (?), Fado (Fate) singer, and seller of cheap combs and other extraordinary artifacts (among which there is a fabulous and legendary elixir!).
The last feminine apparition, Marya de Fátyma, a popular Fado singer from the Bica neighborhood, an older and more experienced woman, introduces herself as António’s intimate confidante. She comments upon the rumors about António’s supposed intention to marry his supposed six lovers, and introduces the suspicion that António may have been the victim of a set up planned to have him treacherously stabbed to death.

Found-footage veteran Jay Rosenblatt at his very best. Initially cheerful film that gradually develops a suffocating inevitability. Because every question from this brand-new visual poem only has one possible answer…
A western, manipulated to the point of being unable to convey a plot. An armed robbery is prevented through the camera, which brings one figure into a grotesque conflict. The armed confrontation gets stuck in a pounding staccato, while the public remains misinformed!
