Nuvem (Sunfish)

Synopsis

Cloud, a young man with a particular penchant for wandering and daydreaming, lives in the center of the Creole slum of Lisbon. In this court of miracles, where toothless old fishermen and rappers mingle, Cloud is the village idiot. With little disposition to work, he likes the company of dogs and clowns. Faced with the indifference of the barmaid he is in love with and the disdain of his peers, Cloud turns to the search of the mysterious sunfish.
