Synopsis:
Springtime in Lisbon and Nicolau turns 24, but he doesn’t celebrate.
Living in his parents’ house, hostage to a dream of being a musician that never comes true and trapped in the ideal image of an ex-girlfriend who left him a year ago and never came back, Nicolau feels unable of moving forward and inventing a life of his own. He takes odd jobs that don’t allow him to leave his parents’ house, until the day he discovers that his mother is just as unsatisfied with her life as he is.
Nicolau is shaken, but he doesn’t fall. On the contrary, he moves forward. He gets a job in a stationery store, moves into a shared house, and life starts rolling again. And with it his dreams and his heart.
Up ahead, a girl and an island.
