It’s a worthwhile short film. I believe this might have been my initial exposure to Portuguese cinema. What initially caught my attention was the subject matter and the involvement of Vítor Norte, an actor whose performances I consistently find dependable and dedicated. I wasn't familiar with the director, Luís Alves, which isn't unexpected given that this is only his third short film and he hasn’t yet made a full-length feature. The story itself is straightforward; it's challenging to explain without giving too much away: Coutinho, an older man living alone in his apartment on Lisbon’s periphery, is facing intense pressure to vacate his home so that a tourism development can begin. He experiences feelings of disruption and being targeted. Fundamentally, the film highlights a profoundly disheartening situation that occurred frequently during the 2010s, contributing to the decline of urban areas—primarily in Lisbon and Porto—as the remaining residents who refused to leave were displaced. The rise of tourism and aggressive real estate investment pushed many property owners to essentially force these tenants out, and there was at least one recorded instance of arson in Porto where a foreign investor set fire to a building to compel an eviction, tragically resulting in someone’s death. The film is exceptionally well-made. It's so effective that you almost wish it were longer. The lingering impression leaves you wanting more; what's presented feels incomplete. This isn't necessarily a flaw, but rather an indication of how skillfully everything was executed.
