Ventura, a Cape Verdean laborer living in the district Fontainhas of Lisbon, is suddenly abandoned by his wife. Ventura walks around feeling lost between the dilapidated old quarter, where he spent most of his life, and his new lodgings in a recently-built low-cost housing complex. All the young poor marginalized people he meets in this decaying world seem to become his own children.
“Ventura is a man who lives in the past, like me. We don’t expect much from the present. The past signifies not changing – or at least not wanting to change. Not changing course. My course is to be faithful to myself. I was lucky to meet someone who thinks and feels things the same way. I wanted the subject of my film to be someone faithful, in a world which isn’t faithful at all. A broken man. [...] Ventura is a lot more intelligent than most. He has more values, he has convictions. Even if they’re very weak or destitute or fragile, all these people have very strong feelings of solidarity and belonging to a community.” (Pedro Costa)
