Plot

Haunted by the ghosts of substance abuse and the relentless demands of his role as an ER doctor, young German Fabian yearns for a fresh start. In a bid to mend his fractured past, he embarks on a journey to the picturesque city of Lisbon, carrying with him the hope of rekindling an old flame with his ex-lover, Dorothea, fondly known as Doro. In the heart of Lisbon, Doro reluctantly opens her home and heart to Fabian. Their relationship re-blooms with passion, but the tendrils of their troubled past intertwine with their present, casting a dark shadow over their reunion. Fabian, seeking a simpler life, exchanges the high-pressure hospital environment for a humble free clinic and charity ambulance service. However, his personal demons and the incessant bullying over minor rules hinder his focus, leaving him vulnerable to the insecurities that once tore his relationship apart. Doro, scarred by Fabian's past jealousy, becomes fiercely defensive at the slightest hint of his old possessive tendencies. His paranoia builds, threatening to shatter their fragile bond once more. As Fabian battles his inner demons, he discovers that he's not the only man in Doro's life. His worst fears are realized when he uncovers her liaisons with the suave Portuguese doctor Francisco, and a charming barman, thus igniting a dangerous flame of jealousy. In this seething pot of passion, jealousy, and turmoil, "Fado" unfurls an intriguing narrative of love, loss, and redemption, set against the striking backdrop of Lisbon. Will Fabian overcome his demons, or will his consuming jealousy once again prove to be his downfall?
