Two men argue in a distant and cold country.
They have been arguing for so long that they can no longer remember why they started arguing in the first place. To settle the problem once and for all, and because they have given up on finding a real solution, they decide to fight a duel. As in all duels, back to back, each one begins by counting a hundred steps before turning around to shoot.
1, 2, 3, 4… Off they go, moving apart.
We follow one of them, but at some point we wonder: where will he go?
This will be a show about quarrels, conflicts, wars, but above all about peace.
Based on the books The Duel, by Inês Viegas Oliveira, The Blanket, by Isabel Minhós Martins and No One Passes From Here, by Isabel Minhós Martins with illustrations by Bernardo P. Carvalho
