My Luminous Shadow Inspired by a true story. In 1986, Liane, a photographer recently graduated in journalism, is hired to take photos of the famous poet Mário Quintana for a tribute to his 80th birthday. He’s a grumpy antisocial at first glance and has no interest in making her task easy in any way, as he feels uncomfortable with every photo she takes. But when she is about to resign, she discovers that Mario has just been kicked out of the only hotel that used to house him. That’s when Liane starts looking for a place for him to live in exchange for the photographer’s services she offers to anyone interested in the poet’s image.
