Driven by dolor, a man returns to Sao Paulo after living for years in the desolate countryside. The big city, a place he had left long ago and that he now hopes will help him forget his current pain and find something to make life worth living again. It is the effort of a man desperate to kill off an increasing sense of inner emptiness, and to render life fulfilling once again.

A troubling relationship arises between the character played by Winona Ryder in the film Girl, Interrupted, the genuine depression experienced by the actress, and the shoplifting of which she was accused. Consisting entirely of clips stolen from existing films, this video essay, which ultimately turns out to be profoundly personal, explores possible links between depression and kleptomania.

Lisa has to smile and be happy on command; she also has to stop crying when necessary. Consequently, she often escapes from her mother’s home, where she doesn’t feel good. Acquaintances gather there for wild parties, where lots of cigarettes are smoked and alcohol is consumed. Little Lisa dreams of disappearing to a place she will feel good. This Estonian-Lithuanian documentary by director Oksana Buraja follows Lisa’s plight in beautifully stylised images that depict the contrast between a world of childhood innocence and the harsh environment in which Lisa is growing up.
