Two actors from a theatre company on the verge of closing, wander through the streets of Lisbon after the final performance directed by their mentor, a father figure whose departure leaves them feeling lost. As they walk through the night, they talk about theatre, life, love and death. They meet unusual people, stop for drinks at a bar and even rehearse a scene. But their conversation eventually turns bitter, leading to a quarrel. Blending comedy and drama, Anda daí offers a fresh look at male friendship, grief and ageing.
