What happens

Lisbon Story (Portuguese: O Céu de Lisboa (Brasil); German: Lisbon Story) is a 1994 feature film directed by Wim Wenders. It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival. As part of Lisbon's programme as the European City of Culture in 1994, Wenders and three Portuguese filmmakers were invited to make a documentary about the city. The result was the fictional Lisbon Story. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
