Raimund Gregorius is a high-school Latin teacher and an expert in ancient languages. His life is transformed following a mysterious encounter with a young Portuguese woman on the Kirchenfeld Bridge in the Swiss city of Bern, whom he manages to save from jumping to her death in the icy waters below. Raimund is intrigued but the woman disappears, leaving behind her coat. Inside it he discovers a book by a Portuguese doctor called Amadeu de Prado, which contains a train ticket. He spontaneously decides to use it, setting off on a journey to Lisbon. While looking for the author, Raimund revisits a dark chapter in the country’s history and unveils a tragic love triangle.
