In Lisbon’s Cape Verdean community, Gabriel, a 13-year-old boy haunted by the fading memories of his father, finds refuge in the city’s hidden gardens. His mother, Isabel, struggles to raise him alone while working night shifts, and Firmino, an elderly farmer, mourns the loss of his cornfield — his last link to Cape Verde. Their lives intertwine in a delicate search for identity, memory, and belonging amid the vastness of the city.
