- Holly Lady Hood, actuality. Somewhere between Sacavém and Camarate there is a neighborhood composed of Afro-descendants, Indians, Indonesians, Gypsies, Portuguese ex-emigrants and especially from the north of Portugal that settled in the capital since the 1960s. There is still a lot to be told, based on the experiences of the peripheral areas of Lisbon, places with disruptive potential but still dormant. Because not everything that precarizes certain means of our deluded society defines it as a place of marginality and discrimination, but it makes those people more instinctive so they believe on unlikely hopes and throws themselves into the smallest possibility that could exist for salvation. The cadence of life inscribed in the lyricism of the "new hip-hop tuga" and the wit to solve problems in the day to day combating the inequalities installed by the System, are the driving force of the dialogues incorporated in the story of these people. 'VÃ ALMA / Vain Soul' is life on the outskirts of Lisbon, told by young people struggling to survive on a daily basis with the means they have, in their own way.
