O Fatalista / The Fatalist (2005) / AvaxHome

Everything good or bad that happens to us "down here" is written "up there". This is the phrase most loved by Tiago (a translation of Jacques, because it comes from the saints), a chauffeur by profession, in order to justify his surprising action when he drives his boss through a strange Portugal in the delirious and endless story of his love-affairs.
