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.

We became fascinated by these directors. The city is never the same in these four episodes, here in Lisbon.
