Just after he is released from jail, Sombra returns to his old neighborhood. In a couple of days, he ends up back in a completely impossible situation when he can’t pay back a loan from a local drug dealer. All he can do is flee. But where to? After all, his enemies are everywhere.
Entirely improvised, and made in close collaboration with a cast of non-professional actors, everyday life in Lisbon’s Reboleira slum is fictionalised and reimagined as a genre film, refashioned into a film noir by director Basil Da Cunha. A realistic drama, part thriller, part documentary.
