Synopsis
Between the ruins and the future of a lagging Lisbon, the Palco Oriental struggles to defend its theatre, threatened with an order to vacate. The Church received those old stables in 1999, by way of a donation made by an anonymous association. To fight against this, João Jorge, director of the Palco, only has the neighbourhood as a witness, the memory of 25 years of theatrical activity and the hope that they can invoke Acquisitive Prescription in order to have the right to enjoy the space where he has always worked.
