Emílio revisits significant episodes from his childhood in the backyard of the house where he grew up. It is from this deeply personal place that memories emerge, summoned by the objects he finds there. Every trace becomes a portal leading us through the neighbourhood’s hidden backyards and the stories of its colourful dwellers, evoking a time of innocence and vulnerability marked by uncertainty; a childhood lived on the edge of the incomprehensible—and often absurd—world of adults, where imagination, play and affection remain the only means of resistance and survival.
