Requiem (1998)
Directed by Alain Tanner

Drama

Film Synopsis

Paul visits Lisbon with the ghost of the great writer Fernando Pessoa.  Between midday and midnight, he will encounter, by chance or as a result of tracing his past, a panoply of people, those who are now living in Lisbon or ghosts from the past, in a strange spatial-temporal collage between the living and the dead.
