Synopsis
Chronicle of a summer. Destination: Lisbon, Portugal. A group of the working-class teenagers, composed mainly of the second-generation immigrants, leave their suburban housing projects for a day in the sun at the beach. Alternating between flirting and arguing, the boys and the girls agree to meet up that night. The girls get into a nightclub while the boys don’t. Seeking revenge, the boys decide to convince Eva, the quiet pretty girl who is new in town, to let them spend a night at her place. Shot in grossly black-and-white with largely unprofessional actors improvising their lines, Pedro Pinho’s buzzing day-in-the-life portrait of is both a celebration of the teen spirits and an authentic social commentary on teenagers who are too cool for school and too eager to have fun, with a stylistic approach echoing the heyday of the French cinéma vérité movement.
