1. Hoje Preferia Não Me Ter Encontrado
Set against the backdrop of a totalitarian regime, the narrative delves into the life of a young woman who is summoned for an interrogation by the secret police. As she embarks on a tram journey to the dreaded meeting, her thoughts unravel a tapestry of memories, fears, and reflections on the oppressive nature of her existence.
