About
A writer (Ruy Gatti) arrives to an unoccupied house where he hopes to find inspiration. He places the typewriter on the desk and takes off the sheets covering the furniture. Among them, an old mirror in which he sees his own reflection. He couldn't imagine that that little gesture would seal his fate.
