NIGHT TRAIN TO LISBON

Raimund Gregorius (Jeremy Irons), a Swiss professor of old languages, saves a Portuguese beauty from committing suicide when she is about to take a lethal leap. Right after this incident he comes across a book written by Portuguese author Amadeu do Prado (Jack Huston). It is a novel about the resistance against the late Portuguese ruler António de Oliveira Salazar and he gets obsessed with it. He starts to dedicate his life to the study of Portuguese history in general and Amadeu do Prado's oeuvre in particular.
