In the suburbs of Lisbon, the Cape Verdean neighborhood of Fontainhas is almost entirely destroyed. Ventura, a former construction worker, wanders among the remnants of the past and the new housing projects. Every young person he meets becomes his child.

SCREENING & TALK WITH PEDRO COSTA
A major figure in contemporary cinema, Pedro Costa has been creating a unique body of work since the 1990s, chronicling the lives of Lisbon’s underclass and Cape Verdean immigrants.
FIDMarseille and the Festival d’Avignon invite the Portuguese filmmaker for a screening followed by a conversation about his film Juventude em Marcha (2006), held at the Collection Lambert.
