SYNOPSIS
What if the gods lived in our days? Curious and attentive to humans, every night Mercurio collects our dreams.
The city of Lisbon sleeps, but there are still some lit windows. One of these windows is Mercurio—a boy, a god. Every night, he stays up collecting messages and recordings from different human dreams. Real people describe some of their recurring or most memorable dreams: scary nightmares, love stories, premonitions. Through accessing these personal dreams as if by magic, and creating a cosmic connection with these characters, Mercurio learns what it’s like to be human and to feel.
