Ventura, manœuvre retraité cap-verdien, erre dans une Lisbonne labyrinthique et cauchemardesque. Il se remémore la manière dont lui et ses amis du quartier Fontainhas ont traversé la Révolution des Œillets, dans la peur de la répression. Dans son errance Ventura rencontre Vitalina qui lui raconte sa propre histoire d’exil.

Six réalisateurs, six regards sur l'état du monde. Leur rencontre crée un nouveau prisme de réflexion dynamique et radical, un espace pour interroger l'avenir.

Previously focused on Asian directors, “Jeonju Digital Project 2007” takes a look at Europe. The Portuguese filmmaker Pedro Costa, the German filmmaker Harun Farocki, and the French filmmaker Eugène Green participated in this project.

O Nosso Homem (Our Man) is a short variation in the line of the trilogy Pedro Costa has devoted to the habitants of the Fontainhas quarter, which has been destroyed in the meantime. It can be considered as a sort of appendix to the third part, Juventude en Marcha (Colossal Youth), in which the hero, Ventura, reappears as one of the four characters of this dialogue of hopelessness.
