Marcos was once a successful author of children's books. For years, his goal has been to finish his first "adult" and "serious" novel. But his lack of social interaction, his excessive ambitions, and the influence of the drugs he grows and sells for a living don't help him. He is about to give up when his friend Walter suggests another path: Marcos just has to live a more intense life. And write about it, like so many great writers...

Can an adolescent experience define our perception of love? Can or should everything be connected or have a reason? A character recounts to his niece or nephew, in the form of a confession, an event from his adolescence that defines his particular way of perceiving love. While this exercise serves to tell a story that, regardless of genre, has surely been experienced by more than one person, it expresses the director's idea that discourse can sustain a work on its own, even if what is depicted on screen appears to have no connection.

In China, there exists an astonishing place. A burial ground to rival Egypt’s Valley of the Kings, where pyramid tombs of stupendous size are full of astonishing riches. In 221 BC, China's first Emperor united warring kingdoms into a nation that still exists today. To memorialise this achievement, he bankrupted the national treasury and oppressed thousands of workers to build one of the world’s biggest mortuary complexes. China's second dynasty, the Han, inherited the daunting challenge of building larger tombs to command respect and establish their right to rule without running the nation into the ground. Although no Han emperor's tomb has been opened, the tombs of lesser Han aristocrats have revealed astonishing things: complete underground palaces (including kitchens and toilets) and at least one corpse so amazingly well-preserved some believe Han tomb-builders knew how to "engineer immortality".
