Daisy
is waiting for your kiss.
I'm coming, I'm coming.
TOMÁS KNOCKS ON THE DOOR
Sleep well. This stays with me.
Dad, why? I wanted to
to finish looking at the photos.
No cell phone at night. You watch videos
and you don't sleep.
MARGARIDA:That's not true.
I also follow tiktokers. Do you want to see?
No. It's late now. See you tomorrow.
TOMÁS: What's that?
- I drew you a picture.
It was at school.
- Didn't you draw Mom?
- I drew one of the two of us.
Sleep well.
LUCAS: All right.
We're leaving for the port now.
Understood. See you soon.
MAN: "The attack took place
night and has not been claimed
"by any of the movements"
MARGARIDA: It's rotten.
They're ruining everything.
- Why are they doing this?
- Some people don't agree
with what the statues represent.
- What do they represent?
A society with
different from now.
There was slavery
and it was believed that
people were not equal.
- We are not equal.
- We're not, but we have
the same rights.
Everyone deserves respect.
This is pure vandalism.
It's the third time this
week, in Lisbon alone.
- They're attracting attention.
- In the wrong way.
I don't think so.
They have the courage to say
things as they should be said.
VITORIA: We, on the other
hand, are always careful
with our words so as
not to jeopardize career
progression and the award
of research grants. grants.
TOMÁS: We have to change the
way we see history, make people think.
How do you intend to do that?
Write an article that
no one will read?
A book that nobody will buy?
Anger brings change.
Who are you quoting?
- I thought you knew everything.
- You don't.
- Go to Google. I'm going to teach.
- See you later.
NELSON: Professor.
Professor Tomás Noronha?
It's me. Do we know each other?
Nelson Moliarti.
Member of the Executive Board of
the Américo Vespúcio Foundation.
Can we talk?
TOMÁS: I've heard a lot about
the Foundation, but not what you do?
NELSON: We're an
American foundation.
Founded to honor
our Italian roots.
We're in an investigation
that has suffered a setback.
I've been charged by the
Council to find a solution.
Well done. And
what's the problem?
At the moment, I hope none.
The teacher is my solution.
A few months ago, the
Foundation began trying to answer
a question that has long
divided historians. historians.
The discovery of Brazil
was accidental?
Or did Pedro Álvares Cabral
already know of its existence ?
I don't understand
how I can be useful.
Some say that Cabral was just to formalize a discovery
after the Treaty of Spain, which divided the world in half.
It officially guaranteed that the
territories
were accepted by everyone as
belonging to Portugal.
- We'll never know for sure
Unless new sources
appear, which is unlikely.
So far there has been no
investment to do serious research.
The archives are scattered
in different countries.
It's not always easy to access
sources.
But we are prepared
to finance research.
TOMÁS: Before, there was a policy of secrecy,
as is the case today with technology companies.
Information is power, always
has been and always will be.
- Of course.
- If there were documents, they never spoke openly about the discovery.
That's why why we had chosen a historian
capable of thinking beyond the obvious.
A renowned teacher,
a master loved by all.
- We've just lost him.
- Professor Martinho Toscano?
Yes. He was working
for us when he died.
SUSPENSE Our president would
like to to talk to you and
make a proposal. Here's my card.
Please call me.
Do you think it's too much?
You certainly won't see it.
Egyptian hieroglyphics.
Does anyone know how
they were deciphered?
Someone or everyone If
it's everyone, we'll leave early.
TOMÁS: No? Nobody's
going to impress me?
Well then, let's continue.
They have remained indecipherable
for more than three thousand years.
In the fourth century
used. Do you know why?
The Christians forbade the
use hieroglyphics
to cut off the pagan
past and the ability to read
them was lost in one generation.
HELENA: May I?
- Yes.
Go ahead.
Hello, I'm Helena. I've
come to Portugal for my
master's degree and I'd like
to attend your graduation class.
- Where are you from?
- From the University of Macau.
My master's thesis
is about cartography.
And the teacher is the only one
who can help me read the texts.
And what period
are you planning to study?
Until 1498.
Until Vasco da Gama's voyage.
I wanted to consult the originals of the chroniclers,
those who reported the voyages, see the maps.
It's difficult. These documents
are not usually accessible.
If you sign a declaration
justifying the consultation
Yes, if I sign it, it's easier.
Sorry, one more thing.
I asked for class notes.
The problem is that
they're very incomplete
- Others I don't understand the handwriting
- Look at it as a test.
For those who want to learn to
decipher symbols and ancient languages.
Would it be too much
to ask your PowerPoint?
- What did you say your name was?
- Helena Lan.
- Helena Lang.
- No. Lan.
- Lan.
- Yes.
Susana, I'd like some pasta,
please. Thank you, Susana.
I'd like a sweaty lobster,
but there isn't any. Pasta too.
- Thank you, sir.
- What about replacing the Toscano?
I know there are three or
four candidates for the job.
It won't be difficult to find
someone more balanced.
- Would you like an orange?
- Yes.
I was researching with
the Foundation in Miami.
They want me to continue
his work.
- It must pay well.
- It's the Discoveries.
- It's not my field.
- Okay
Are you going to miss the
chance to finish and publish?
I don't know. I need to think about it.
NELSON: "How long
before the lab responds?"
I thought the heir
might show up in Miami.
NELSON:"He hasn't
replied yet, but he'll accept."
- What are they going to do to me? DOCTOR:- Listen
to your heart and take some pictures of it. Is that all right?
Cristina, can you come here?
Do me a favor, take
Margarida to the imaging room.
Go, my love.
We'll wait for you here.
Go take a picture.
Doctor, if Daisy
is operated on
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
DOCTOR: Your daughter has
been undergone several operations,
practically since he was born, and we're
going to prevent it from happening again.
D. Luísa Toscano ?
I'm a real estate agent.
Let me talk to you.
- I'm not interested.
- Hold on a second.
- I have a very good offer.
- I'm not selling my house.
- I don't want to sell!
- Didn't your husband tell you?
I heard what happened.
I'm sorry.
MARLON: Let me come in for a moment.
D. Luisa, let me in
and we'll talk.
Go away! Get out of there!
Get lost or I'll call the
police. I'm calling the police!
- One, two, three.
- One, two, three.
- What did you wish for?
- That it would get better.
And to make up.
But we're not angry.
It seems that way.
Adults are sometimes
are a bit complicated.
- Aren't they?
- Yes.
They think a lot about their problems and they
should think more about the good things they have.
- Take a look.
- What did you wish for?
That your exams are good and
that your heart is better than mine.
Constança wants to leave
home, but she has no money.
I don't have enough for rent
and alimony.
Why don't you get rid of it?
I'm restoring the desk.
You've been restoring it for two years?
Tomás, this part of Lisbon
is appreciating in value.
If you sell this, your
your financial problems.
My grandfather died when
he was restoring his desk.
At this stage of life, coming
here helps me to think.
On the Foundation's proposal
Américo Vespúcio Foundation?
Tomás, you have to sort out
your life.
You've got a lot on your plate.
Call them and tell them you accept.
Bring me the fine sandpaper.
VICTORIA: Friends aren't just for
to tell you what you want to hear.
Sort out your life.
I'm off.
See you later.
- Vitoria
- Yes, I like you a lot too.
Even though you're a real pain in the ass.
MAN: I'm sorry,
let's call it a night.
CONSTANCE:Tomorrow, you
have to take Daisy to school tomorrow.
- I have a budget to deliver.
- We have to leave much earlier.
Then leave early.
It was easier when I
didn't work, did it?
- I never asked you
- You were happy not to work.
- I don't know how we paid for school
- I think you should go back to work.
If anyone has doubts
or guilt, it's you.
- That's enough. I'm tired.
- I have been for a long time.
I'm getting out of here. I'm going to
get some money. Look for a place.
TOMÁS: Sleep well.
Good morning. I have
a meeting.
- Professor Tomás Noronha?
- Yes.
- Just a moment. Can I get you some coffee or water?
- No, thank you.
Professor
Professor Tomás Noronha.
Success encourages them: they
can because they think they can.
- The inscription.
- Virgil's "Aeneid".
It's our motto.
Success brings success.
No obstacle
too great.
- Are we going in?
- Absolutely.
Let me introduce of the Executive Board,
John Savigliano. He arrived this morning.
Thank you
Before we go any further, let me say
that I am cryptanalyst and paleographer.
If you want an expert on the
Discoveries, I'll give you names.
We were working with Professor
Toscano on a special project.
What really happened,
if I may ask?
NELSON: His behavior
changed over the last few months.
And then, unfortunately,
he ended up dying.
I'm sorry, but once again I
don't know how I can help.
JOHN: We need someone to help us
understand what Toscano investigated.
- About the discovery of Brazil.
- JOHN: Yes.
NELSON: Professor Toscano
had absurd points with the secrets.
With the paranoia that everyone wanted to
steal his research, he encrypted all the information.
Most of the notes are not
even in our possession.
We think he kept everything
in a safe.
But there are people more
qualified than me to do that.
- Not cryptanalysts, but
- He was a disciple of Toscano.
NELSON: I knew his methods
well methods, the chaotic way
Chaotic, but brilliant. It's going to
be difficult to redo the investigation.
You could start with the Real
Gabinete Portuguese Reading Room.
- In Rio de Janeiro?
NELSON: Exactly.
It was the last place
Professor was researching.
A trip to Rio de Janeiro
with everything paid for.
The chance to Toscano's work.
He's your great teacher.
And you're hesitating?
It's not the right time.
Margarida needs me.
- She'll be fine.
- Constança can't do everything.
That's why I'm
telling you. I can help.
I appreciate that, but will
understand if I stay away?
- Do you really think so?
- I really do.
But I think you're talking about
Constança in a way I don't recognize.
Constance has
become very critical.
Probably rightly so.
We've both changed.
That's normal. People change.
Considering what they've
been through, it's normal.
What was she? Twenty years old?
When did you meet her?
Life was rosy. Not now.
That's just it.
We've all changed.
That's not what I
said. I don't change.
I'm always fine.
- You have to look in the mirror.
- Why? I'm not decadent.
- I'm not decadent.
- You look great.
- A girlfriend 15 years younger.
- See?
TOMÁS:- Come in.
- Hello.
Hello.
I didn't know if she was already here.
I decided to take a chance anyway.
Your notes.
So?
Were they any use?
- They were very helpful. Thank you very much.
- You're welcome.
If you have any more
questions, can I come by?
Yes, of course.
Thank you very much.
Is this the new student?
- What's her name?
- Yes. Her name is
Don't start with your funny
business. Helena Lan.
- Helena Lan. Lan.
TOMÁS:- Lan.
You know that, historically,
the Helenas are always to blame.
Remember when the Greeks
invaded Troy?
Moliarti, the guy from the
Foundation, keeps insisting.
He realizes that this is
opportunity.
- How long will you stay?
- A week at most.
We can ask your parents
for help while I'm away.
I can talk to Vitoria
to pick up Margarida
Don't worry about my
life while you're away.
If it were the other way
around, I'd support you.
But it's never been the other way around.
CONSTANCE:You've already
made your decision, Tomás.
Have a good trip.
TAXI: This is the address.
- Thank you.
It's 12.50 euros.
- I don't have any money
- What do you mean?
I don't have any money.
Yes ?
That's all right. I'm
going downstairs.
I'll be right down.
Mom will be right back, okay, sweetheart?
- I don't have any money. Can you pay?
- All right. I'll be right back.
CONSTANCE: How much?
- Good morning. It's 12.50.
Twelve and a half.
- That's right. Thank you.
- Thank you. Sorry, Tomás isn't in.
Tomás isn't in. He's just left.
It's very important.
It's about my husband and
the men who were after him.
Now they're after me.
Yesterday, a man
came to my house.
I didn't let him in.
But he'll come back.
- I know he will.
- Calm down.
Calm down, Luisa. I
can take care of you.
How do you know my name?
We met at a college party.
It's been a while.
Do you have someone
who can stay with you?
Who can look after you?
After Martinho left,
I was left alone
Right. What about your house?
Do you know where you live?
Do you remember the address?
- Don't you want to take your coat off?
- No, you don't.
There's no need. Darling
Darling
Is there someone to help
you? An employee, a neighbor?
Your husband
Do you want me to
to eat?
No need, thank you.
- But I'll have some tea
- I'll make some.
Excuse me.
I can go out and buy
something.
LUÍSA: Martinho and I met
during the academic crisis.
In France.
Do you know that song
by Caetano Veloso?
"É Proibido Proibir" ?
É proibido proibir We spent
whole afternoons listening to it
I was much more radical
than he was.
When we locked ourselves
at the university,
in the movement, Martinho
only joined the
movement because he wanted access
to that library.
LUÍSA: Are you married?
I'm married.
Sometimes
I wander around this house
I look for things without knowing
where they are, sometimes I don't
I know where I am.
Things from the back, from the past, I
remember everything well, down to the last detail.
The head is such a
machine.
I
I'd like to come and visit you.
If you don't mind
Who are you?
Why are you following me?
