Synopsis
A lugubrious man named Rui visits his dying father in a Lisbon hospital, where he meets an unnamed pregnant woman, survivor of a car accident in which her lover has died. But have they met before and if so when? The zone of the Portugese title refers to the emotionally-charged space of the hospital, where much of the action takes place, but equally could refer to a Lynchian liminal space between life and death, where familiar narrative and temporal logic is suspended.
