Trente ans plus tard, je me rends à Macao où je ne suis jamais revenu depuis mon enfance. J’ai reçu un mail à Lisbonne de Candy, une amie dont je n’avais plus de nouvelles depuis longtemps. Elle disait s’être encore aventurée avec les mauvais garçons et elle me priait de venir à Macao où se passaient des choses effrayantes, selon ses propres mots. Fatigué, après des heures de vol, j’approche de Macao à bord du ferry qui me fera remonter le temps, jusqu’à la période la plus heureuse de ma vie.

Aqui, em Lisboa: Episódios da Vida da Cidade
5
Welcome to Lisbon: there are mermaids by the Tagus and birds flying over the old city; there are mad scientists and singing fish; lost tourist guides and lost tourists; fado and sad guitars. What a weird city you may think - but no. Lisbon is about being different, sarcastic, welcoming to foreigners even in an economic crisis. Different directors became fascinated by our strangeness. We became fascinated by these directors. The city is never the same in these four episodes, here in Lisbon.
