Overview

A fiction within fiction, in which a television crew shoots a film about the poet and philosopher Anthero de Quental, from São Miguel, in a vision of his life and work staged and told through the fictionalized testimonies of those who knew him. The poet's life and death will be staged through the eyes of a group of traveling performers and the testimonies of some of the personalities who knew him best: Ramalho Ortigão, Eça de Queiroz, Oliveira Martins, Teófilo Braga, and his sister Ana Quental, whose sometimes contradictory points of view will attempt to unravel some of the enigmas that haunted Athero's tormented existence and the complete reasons that led him to the bench where, under the anchor of Hope, the poet described his life and committed suicide.
