Anda Daí

Overview

Over the course of one night, two middle-aged friends—actors in a struggling theater company—wander the streets of Lisbon’s less touristy neighborhoods, which seem to never sleep, and talk about all and nothing, about life, work, commitment, the stage, illness, death, family. Hermínio and Barata are like brothers, “children” of Mário Plácido, the founder and director of the troupe who died a few weeks ago, but they have different personalities and do not share the same vision for the future of the company. Barata wants to save it and continue to stage plays, while Hermínio has doubts about whether it should continue. The rift could shake their decades-long friendship.
