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 sl*very

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 a*s.

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?
