Cultura em Expansão

"We Are a Lost Generation" is a collective film, made by the young people of the "My Place in the World" Association, with the participation and support of the Anselmo Braamcamp community in Porto. The film follows a group of young people who come together to organize a surprise party for one of the street's honorary residents, Dona Esmeralda, inviting the entire neighborhood to join in the celebration.

The soccer field, a meeting point for playtime in the Lagarteiro neighborhood, becomes a stage for four children. Seated in the stands, they tell, act out, and participate in their own stories, in a constant game of humor and provocation. Developed from daily encounters at the end of the day, between the field and the Cercar-te Association in Lagarteiro, the film constructs a collective perspective of the children on the neighborhood, its places, and the time shared in community.
