Rua do Monte

In a segment of the final days of WW II Europe, four young men huddle below in a dark abandoned basement. As they await for any sign of clearing from the outside, the "unseen one" reveals his own plan to save his family's legacy. He tells the other three about a family heirloom handed over to a neighbor, in order to save it.

And then abruptly, we are transported to modern day New York City, observing a young man intently concentrating on a piece of paper. He follows the instructions which takes him to a mysterious gentleman who hands over a folder. The sullen young man, confused but compelled, is magically sent to beautiful picturesque Portugal. Wandering throughout this tranquil landscape, an exotic mystery women appears and leads him to his destiny.
For all of us, Time can never expire, for a Spirit transcends, and Guides the living
