Synopsis: A documentary on Traditional Portuguese Popular Culture, Lisbon’s Regional Houses and the inherent pride in being a regionalist, portraying those who came from small villages to the country’s capital in search of a better life, particularly throughout the 20th century. These people were the main agents in the development and expansion of the city, making Lisbon the cultural patchwork quilt that it is today.
Submitter Statement: While making a film is a work of love, it is also the fruit of very intense labour, so I am very grateful for your acknowledgement, which will most certainly help bring Chieira to an ever greater audience. Thank you.
