Lisbon. The houses we observe as we walk through the streets seem empty, but they're not. Inhabited by the elderly who gradually lose contact with the streets, these interiors form a reverse side of the city. Lisbon is no longer a map shaped by buildings and avenues to become a city made of adversity, habits and memories.
Lisbon's Under Arrest is the inside portrait of a city, told in seven voices, where façades turn into faces and distance is measured in steps. Where life insists on its richness and claims a place beyond statistics and charity. We look at the future and it gives back the time that will pass.
