O Fatalista
Piano Player
«Tudo o que de bem ou de mal nos acontece "cá em baixo", está escrito "lá em cima". É a frase preferida de Tiago (tradução de Jaques, porque vem dos santos), motorista de condição, para justificar todas as suas surpreendentes ações, quando através de um estranho Portugal conduz o seu patrão na delirante e interminável história dos seus amores.

A Sétima Letra
Berardo
Some time ago Gerardo knew another man of the same age called Berardo. When he said the name, Berardo expressed his oppinion violently, saying that the «G» was owed him and that Gerardo, since he owned it had somehow stolen something from him. Berardo then tries to get something back which soon goes beyond a baptismal name. Gerardo whitnesses this strange spectacle of himself as a place where, after Berardo, other people try to get something back, something that escapes them about themselves. Three women - Adália, Miranda and Virgínia - are whitnesses to this game
Conversa Acabada
Pianisa
No início do século XX a sociedade portuguesa está em profunda crise política e moral, uma República confusa e com restos de uma monarquia podre. Fernando Pessoa e Mário de Sá-Carneiro reinventam a língua, o modo de dizer, pagando os riscos da sua aventura. Um rebenta a solidão no fogo dos heterónimos que lhe permitem prolongar a existência; o outro despedaça o corpo e a própria vida na vertigem dispersa de poemas e novelas. A história desse encontro, os textos, a amizade e a morte.
