Spira, a young man from Reboleira, returns to the neighborhood after 8 years serving time in a correctional facility. A raw and no-filter film about the daily life of one of the most problematic areas in Lisbon, Portugal. What we see in this story is the reality of many Portuguese boys (and some girls too), forgotten by the system after having done their "function", which in the end does not contribute to the personal and social development of these young people. How can you want someone who has only known misery and crime to change, without the necessary support and structural changes? It is too dramatized in certain parts, but it does not pinch the good set of narrative and photography. Basil da Cunha deserves the recognition given to the film on the Festivals circuit.
