Synopsis

Xavier returns to Lisbon after doing his compulsory military service and tries to give his life some meaning: he visits his old orphanage, meets some his old friends, attends a trial at the courthouse.

The shooting of Xavier was interrupted in 1991, when it was just on the verge of completion—only two scenes were missing. The co-producer had gone bankrupt. Not until 12 years later, in 2003, could the feature-length film finally be completed in the form that we see today.
