PAX, is a Portuguese comedy directed by Eduardo Guedes over a screenplay of Bruno Heller. Is part of a film trilogy about Lisbon, ordered for Lisbon, European Cultural Capital of 1994.
Franny (Amanda Plummer), an absent-minded American girl, is in Lisbon to deliver an important package. Unfortunately she has lost the address and only knows that the recipient's name is João. When she meets an old hooker, Esmeralda, the two join forces and begin cruising the town at night, across the streets and the local bars, meeting Lisbon's unconventional night fauna, to try to find João (which would never happen). Franny and Esmeralda open the package to find the contents and final destination of the package.
