Synopsis
“Logo existo” deliberately excluded the first word of the expression “I think, therefore I am” (“Penso, logo existo”). Over the course of the past few centuries, the study of the human mind has been relegated to the realm of philosophy and religion. However, in recent decades, neurobiology has made great advances in this field. “This film is about a quest for a word that can substitute the Cartesian “think”, which defined concepts about human identity over three centuries ago without making us happy” (Graça Castanheira).
