Based upon the short story by Patrício Troncal (Hugo Mário), "Galileu, o rapaz triste, muito triste, que matou Ernesto Vrum", ("Galileu, the very sad boy who killed Ernesto Vrum"), it wants to show the specific characteristics of this special boy.

 

"Galileu" is about a wish that can't come true, and that becomes an obsession. The characters who are born from the short story is Galileu and an reflected image of what he cannot become, but wants to achieve.

 

The opposites are constant; you have simultaneously delight and loving, opposed by frustration and a heavy sense of despair. The obsession is revealed through the form of lucid dreaming, driving him to eventually accepting and being resigned to it.
