Synopsis

A loner, narcissistic and suicidal teenager (Tomás Alves) attracts most of the people he meets like a fatal aura, a black light. He falls deeply in love with Teresa (Ana Moreira)  but does she exist or is she a mere figment, an image, a reflection? Teresa is an apparition. A pretext for an amoral violent uprising, for doomed love.
