Synopsis
“Um Ramadão em Lisboa” is a collective film directed by 12 authors that reveals a plural and heterogeneous Lisbon through a series of characters who, during the month of Ramadan, live different experiences. A film that visits their daily lives, in a geographical and social context where this is neither a common nor a majority practice. Following a shared creative process, this documentary seeks to put a close and recognisable Lisbon in the background, dissipating otherness and exoticism, in a movement of human approximation to cinema.
