My grandfather. And Dr. Sebastian. Two characters, two different times.

My grandfather wakes up every day at 6 a.m. Dr. Sebastian wakes up at 7. Dr. Sebastian wakes up at 7. They cross paths every day at the same time. My Grandfather once owned a watch store. Now he has plenty of time. Dr. Sebastian is not a watchmaker and has no time to waste. My grandfather takes German lessons and pilates classes. He writes (ridiculous) love letters and regularly has picnics on the grass, comme il faut.

Then he still has time to pick me up from school...

From Pessoa to Manet, from Almada to Tati, a book full of artistic references.
