Senhor José is a low-grade clerk in the city's Central Registry, where the living and the dead share the same shelf space. A middle-aged bachelor, he has no interest in anything beyond the certificates of birth, marriage, divorce, and death that are his daily routine. Until one
day, when he comes across the records of an anonymous young woman. Obsessed, Senhor José sets off to follow the thread that may lead him to the woman -- but as he gets closer, he discovers more about her, and about himself, than he would ever have wished.
