Review

Fontainhas is a lost community, a shanty-town on the outskirts of Lisbon. This film shows the day-by-day stories of the residents eager for the new, better life announced with its promises of warm comfort and economic growth. We see characters like Virgilio who asks himself if he really needs another refrigerator, Benvindo and Maria who break-up and Isabel who can´t take it anymore.
