Diogo and Emília have been together for 16 years. They have a teenage daughter and undergo a tedious phase. However, everything turns upside down when they find out their best friends, Ricardo and Bettina, have an open marriage.

This news comes like a bolt from the blue. After reacting badly to the idea, Emília gets excited and convinces Diogo to, at least, go to a party with Ricardo and Betina's "gang". And that is when a series of events that will shake the couple's boring little life starts. Will they set their jealousy aside and become supporters of this practice?

He Who Saw the Abyss

The gun pointed at the head is a delirium that expands into disorderly controlled chaos. “He Who Saw the Abyss” by Gregorio Gananian and Negro Leo, is like a car that enters the curve at 300km/h, but slowly. In an experimental whirlwind, moving between a noisy sound and an almost idyllic musicality, the film is structured out of a pile of images that seem as intimate as they are delirious, accelerating into a trance that is fragmented by a montage, signed by João Dumans and Gregorio Gananian, who strive to articulate an intense experience on the big screen.
