Short description

Raimund Gregorius, having saved a beautiful Portuguese woman from leaping to her death, stumbles upon a mesmerizing book by a Portuguese author, which compels him to suddenly abandon the boring life he has led for years and to embark on an enthralling adventure. In search of the author, Gregorius acts as detective, pulling together pieces of a puzzle that involves political and emotional intrigue and the highest possible stakes. His voyage is one that transcends time and space, delving into the realms of history, medicine and love, all in search of true meaning to his life.

What's left behind the scenes

All characters speak English, even in cases where they should be speaking Portuguese or German, for the convenience of the audience. The focus is on a Portuguese or German accent.
Bruno Ganz's character smokes in the pharmacy while serving customers. Smoking indoors has been prohibited in Portugal since 2008. Smoking in pharmacies in front of customers would have been unthinkable long before that. This behavior is typical for this character, but seeing it in Portugal in the 21st century is practically impossible.
