Mercuric Oxycyanide

Original title: Oxicianureto de Mercúrio

Directed by André Carreira

Amancio, young and bohemian man of the 30’s, meets friends at a bar and tell them about his painful treatment to heal a syphilitic ulcer in the stomach. While his story takes air of fantasy and adventure, a rough and drunk man challenges him to prove that he really is cured.
