En la Toscana, el anciano Tristano se está muriendo de gangrena y soporta el dolor gracias a la morfina. Frau Renate lo cuida desde siempre y lo atiende. Llama a un escritor para pedirle que transcriba el relato de su vida, y comienza con un día en Grecia durante la guerra. Según él, la vida es un misterio, y no la muerte. Reflexión sobre las nociones de heroísmo y traición. Una conmovedora historia sobre la vida, la muerte y los recuerdos.

Antonio Tabucchi was an Italian writer and academic who taught Portuguese language and literature at the University of Siena, Italy. Deeply in love with Portugal, he was an expert, critic and translator of the works of Fernando Pessoa from whom he drew the conceptions of saudade, of fiction and of the heteronyms. Tabucchi was first introduced to Pessoa's works in the 1960s when attending the Sorbonne. He was so charmed that when he returned to Italy, he took an introductory course in Portuguese for a better comprehension of the poet.
