António, one, two, three
by Leonardo Mouramateus

António has been skipping class to write a play based on Dostoevsky’s short story White Nights (1848) about four nights in a new relationship. After arguing with his father about skipping school, António heads to his ex-girlfriend’s Lisbon flat for comfort. There he meets Débora, a Brazilian traveling to Russia.
