TRAILER

"Agenbite of inwyt"

There are more I's than I myself.
I exist, nevertheless"
- Alberto Caeiro

"I'm not who I have in memory
Nor who is in me now."
- Fernando Pessoa

"Back when they used to celebrate my birthday
I enjoyed the good health of understanding nothing,
Of being intelligent in my family's eyes,
And of not having the hopes that others had for me.
When I began to have hopes, I no longer knew how to hope.
When I began to look at life, it had lost all meaning for me."
- Álvaro de Campos
