Director Statement

This film is my reflection, in mockumentary form, on gentrified Lisbon, pillaged and increasingly less for the Lisboners. This film is for laughing, so we don't cry. It's from Portugal, but it could be universal. It's cinema, but it's very much 2023, blending languages and challenging genres.
It's political.
