Der Lateinlehrer Raimund Gregorius (Jeremy Irons) hält in Bern die junge Portugiesin Estefânia (Mélanie Laurent) davon ab, sich das Leben zu nehmen. Als sie plötzlich verschwindet, lässt sie unter anderem ein Buch und ein Zugticket nach Lissabon zurück. Gregorius, dessen Leben bislang wenig Abwechslung kannte, macht einen großen Schritt ins Ungewisse. Er benutzt die Fahrkarte, fährt nach Portugal und sucht dort den unbekannten portugiesischen Autor des Buches. Dabei taucht Gregorius tief in dessen tragisch-romantisches Leben ein.

Recently, I managed to run into movies that take place in Portugal a lot, mainly Lisbon. I’m not sure if it’s a coincidence, but I’d be happy to see even more of those. Lisbon seems like an amazing city chock-full of history and there can’t possibly be a better setting for a drama. It’s very fresh. I certainly didn’t have an issue with the atmosphere in this movie. What was worse was the storytelling style which intertwined the past and the present. The past could be very boring at times and Jeremy Irons didn’t appear as often as I’d like him to. But just for Lisbon alone, I can’t rate it any lower than three stars.

Jeremy Irons excels in a film in which he suddenly changes his whole life as a teacher by starting to search for an unknown author. It only took encountering a suicidal woman and an unknown book. The story of searching for an interesting human destiny, but also oneself, begins. The biggest positive are the interesting actors, otherwise unfortunately the film lacks a bit in the plot, which doesn't really present such a great story.
