September

With the Tagus River serving as both backdrop and leitmotif, “Setembro” is an animated short film about a genuine Lisbon. As the narrative progresses, the city full of colors, traditions and voices quickly gives way to gentrified spaces and foreign tourists’ voices, which now overlap the locals’, turning Lisbon into a new place. With no space for its former intimacy, the city transforms itself, a process that moves it ever further from its residents
