- Spira, 18, spent the last eight years in remand school and returns to Reboleira, a slum in Lisbon. His friends Giovani and Chandi are still there, as are the locals, deals and parties.

All filmed with patience in front of a static camera. The banality, anxiety and alienation of women in this industry has rarely been as original, humorous and matter of fact.
