Synopsis
1904. There is a crowd at the entrance to the Universal Exhibition in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. Many people would come to admire a gigantic, steel structure, on which thousands of mirrors reflect the sun's light. It was the Pyrhelióphero, a Solar Oven invented by a Portuguese man, who won first prize at the exhibition despite not even being considered as the official Portuguese representative.
