Their parents came from a for­mer Por­tu­guese colony. The chil­dren were born in Lis­bon, but feel more Cape Ver­dean than Por­tu­guese. They left their childhood neigh­bourhood to move a social hou­sing quarter.

They speak Por­tu­guese, but quic­kly lear­ned Cre­ole. In Nôs Terra, they talk about the dua­lity and con­flict of belon­ging to two worlds that live back to back, but that, after all, belong to them as one.

It is a docu­men­tary focu­sing on the pro­cess of buil­ding a counter-discourse fea­tu­ring young black Portuguese.
