Synopsis
On the other side of the river Tejo a row of abandoned and ruined factory buildings are located right at the riverbank facing with the postcard look of Lisbon. Only the wasted and destroyed, grey walls covered by graffities remained from the huge olden dockyard. One of the abandoned room behind a curtain lives Eddie, an 23 year old Cape Verdean immigrant who came to Portugal alone 5 years ago. He dreams of becoming a rapper one day. The film gives us an inside and poetic view of his everyday life on the border between two worlds.
