It is about a med student who goes to Lisbon to reunite with his girlfriend so maybe the title Fado has something to do with the traditional Portugese music, fado, or maybe it is a portmanteau of the med student's name, Fabian, and his girlfriend's name, Doro, suggesting their union - them together, reciprocally - is responsible for his monstrous jealousy...but that can't be right, so maybe the remaining letters of their names, BIAN and RO suggest they are black to an absent white...this is where the under-engaged brain of a viewer goes when watching this relationship drama and domestic abuse case study of only the barest surface details - we do not learn anything about his abuser psychology or the reasons for her putting up with his green monster over and over again.
