Within one image, another one is always hiding. Wordless and using only archive footage, "Still Life" aims to rediscover and delve into the opacity of images (news, war footage, propaganda documentaries, photos of political prisoners and never seen before rushes) made during the 48 years (1926-1974) of Portuguese dictatorship in order to foster new interpretations.

Sonia and Branca are two close friends at their thirties's sexual peak, on the verge of their cosmopolitan loneliness. Despite the long relationship that keeps them together, they are so distant, that it's as if they didn't really know each other.

Lisboa, 1989: Un pobre diablo de mediana edad vive en el cuarto de una pensión barata y familiar, en el casco antiguo de la ciudad. Atormentado por una enfermedad y por vicisitudes de orden diverso, el idiota, que se alimenta de Schubert y quizás de una vaga cinefilia como forma de resistencia frente a la miseria, es puesto de patitas en la calle tras un intento frustrado de atentar contra la virtud de la hija de la dueña de la pensión. Solo y privado de recursos, se ve confrontado con la dureza del espacio urbano y es internado en un hospicio, de donde saldrá con la firme determinación propia del hombre libre, y con una misión “rica y extraña” que le ha sido encomendada por un viejo amigo, enfermo mental como él: “!Ve y dales trabajo!”.
