The plot of the film consists of a journey of a sound engineer from Germany to the capital of Portugal (slapstick adventures while driving a car vividly resemble the events of a comedian's films) and his travels around Lisbon in search of a friend, a director who makes a film there and needs a professional to sound it . During his walks around the city, he meets various residents and visitors: a group of children visiting his friend's apartment with cameras in his hands, a hairdresser, a clean shoe, a fado team, and finally the director Friedrich himself (Patrick Bauchau). Conversations, events, reflections on the state of art, and cinematography in particular, form the basis of a gently moving picture.
Wim Wenders (The Salt of the Earth /Le sel de la terre, 2014; Paris, Texas, 1984; Wings of Desire /Der Himmel über Berlin, 1987; Buena Vista Social Club, 1999; and others) in a poetic walk around Lisbon ( as Fellini once traveled around Rome) in search of the essence of cinema as art, along with lots of quotations and associations taken from cinematography (the cover of the magazine with the image of Fellini, the name of the director Friedrich Monroe as the name of the famous actress, the appearance of the actor Patrick Bauchau - isn't it Jerzy Skolimowski in the bath?) and culture in general (mention of the titles of Beatles songs woven into the poetic text - Fool On the Hill and With the Little Help From My Friends). Delight over architecture, music (Madredeus), sounds of the city and beautiful women (Teresa Salgueiro).
