The place that remains deeply unchanged before my random passage or One way to see ourselves within the out of field

Synopsis

Filming the town in an impartial manner, forgetting about the habitual frameworks and big plans, giving freedom to the camera to shoot whatever it is to appear in front of it and in that way we shoot the out of the field, usually what it's not filmed. And what appears in front of the camera is a city built by people, built for people, but with the absence of them. They are not there, they are figures. It's another way to film the city of Lisbon.

Director's note

In this film, a certain mood that I feel when I'm in a city is present, a certain strangeness to be in a place with a high population, but in which all those people are hardly seen.
