In the street, a cyclist runs into Raimund and smashes his glasses. Raimund finds the tomb: Amadeu died in 1974. As Raimund is leaving, the maid informs him that he can find Amadeu in the town's cemetery. When Raimund asks what happened to their father, Adriana's reaction is hostile. Raimund learns that Amadeu was a doctor, and that only 100 copies of his book were printed after his death. He finds Amadeu's home, where the writer's sister, Adriana, welcomes Raimund she gives him the impression her brother still lives there. During the journey he reads the book.Īmadeu do Prado lived in Lisbon, so Raimund searches for him, hoping that this will lead to the woman. At the last moment he decides to use the ticket himself and jumps on the train. Confused and doubtful, Raimund rushes to the station, but the woman is nowhere in sight. The train is, in fact, leaving in 15 minutes. The bookseller remembers the girl's purchasing this obscure book and, as he leafs through it, a train ticket to Lisbon falls out. It is stamped with the address of the bookstore where he happens to be a regular customer and he goes there. All he finds is a small book, a memoir of sorts, by Amadeu do Prado. He checks her pockets for identification. But instead of waiting to talk, she leaves during the middle of his class, without her coat.Ĭoncerned, Raimund grabs the coat and runs after her, but in vain. She helps him gather the papers that have spilled from his briefcase and accompanies him to the school where he teaches. Dropping his briefcase, he runs and pulls her down. Walking over a bridge on the way to his school in Bern, Raimund Gregorius, a Swiss professor of philosophy, notices a young woman in a red coat standing on the railing, about to leap.
