a film by :João Salaviza
A hot summer in Lisbon. David, 14, awaits the imminent death of his grandfather but refuses to visit him, fearing this terrible loss. His mother, Mónica, spends her nights at the hospital. The void already left by his grandfather forces David to become the man of the house. He doesn’t feel ready to assume this new role, but without realizing it: the more David tries to avoid adulthood, the more he gets closer to it…
Un été brûlant à Lisbonne. David, 14 ans, est dans l'attente de la mort imminente de son grand-père mais refuse de lui rendre visite, de peur de le perdre. Mónica, la mère de David, passe ses nuits à l'hôpital. Le vide que laisse déjà son grand-père oblige David à devenir l'homme de la maison. Il sent qu'il n'est pas prêt à endosser ce nouveau rôle, mais sans s’en rendre compte, plus il cherche à éviter la vie d'adulte, plus il s’en rapproche.
