Fiction is never very far from reality. A young man, of Portuguese heritage, decides to do a PhD based on the documentary The Good People of Portugal, a work from 1980, also directed by Rui Simões. This opens the door to a parallel between the reality of the film we see and that of PREC, the moment of the studied documentary and the contemporary world, with the young Michel in between.

Based on Nina's final monologue from the play "The Seagull" by Anton Chekhov, this short film explores the relationship between a young actress with her job, her boyfriend, with the text and, especially, with herself. What really matters when we are acting? Or in a relationship? Or in the way we perceive ourselves?
