In The Lisbon of Tomorrow
"From Martim Moniz to the Whole World"
This documentary short film, inspired by the musical work of the singer Gil do Carmo, called "The Whole World", aims to portray the life of Arroios, the most multicultural parish in Lisbon, which, over two square kms of total area, welcomes around 40 thousand people of 92 different nationalities. Gil do Carmo's voice and steps lead us through the bustling streets of this neighbourhood and reveal some of its gems: the Intendente street market, the Arab restaurant, traditional Japanese dance classes, the Indian barber shop or the Hindu temple. This film portrays the pulse of miscegenation lived in the city of Lisbon. We want to believe that from one neighbourhood (Arroios) all of Lisbon is inclusively not a “Strange way of life”, but a reality in Lisbon, as in "Whole World".
