Experiencing Interruptions?

I Do Not Know How Many Souls I Have

"I Do Not Know How Many Souls I Have" presents us with a visual narrative that demonstrates the life of a protagonist in three different phases, and at the same time we have the auditory narration of the poem "I do not know how many souls I have" by Fernando Pessoa. Although both are different narratives, both cooperate simultaneously in delivering a message about deep appreciation of life and bliss.
