Provincetown International Film Festival 2009

Director Paulo Marinou-Blanco will be in attendance.

For Alex and Bruno, it could be any other time or place. An old and solitary failed English actor, Alex records voice-overs for cheap travel videos, and drinks himself to sleep. Bruno, a reclusive young locksmith, devotes himself to his obsession: fighting the passage of time, by breaking into people's homes to make a "record" of their lives, which he keeps in an archive at the back of his shop. They share an obsession for Irene, an attractive local painter, who has all the joy and passion for life that they lack. Then one day, Irene disappears, without a trace... Although initially hostile to each other, Alex and Bruno join forces to discover what happened to her. As they search Irene's apartment for clues, they slowly move in, and a trusting friendship begins to develop between these two loners. When they discover Irene might be in Spain, and in danger, these two unlikely heroes decide to rescue her. The journey might turn out to be pointless, but they'll make it together - as friends. GOODNIGHT IRENE won the Best Feature Award at the 2008 New Orleans Film Festival. In English and Portuguese with English subtitles
