Resistiendo con fiereza en el barrio lisboeta de Fontainhas, donde lleva más de dos décadas filmando, y flanqueado por Ventura –el caboverdiano de triste figura de Juventud en marcha– Pedro Costa regresa, estableciendo un pasadizo secreto entre la Revolución de los Claveles de 1974 y la actualidad en Lisboa. Mientras los jóvenes toman las calles, la gente de Fontainhas busca a Ventura, perdido en el bosque, en un film de misterioso claroscuro como el de su mente deteriorada, perdida en un sueño febril tras una vida de trabajo duro y pobreza.
O Nosso Homem (Our Man) is a short variation in the line of the trilogy Pedro Costa has devoted to the habitants of the Fontainhas quarter, which has been destroyed in the meantime. It can be considered as a sort of appendix to the third part, Juventude en Marcha (Colossal Youth), in which the hero, Ventura, reappears as one of the four characters of this dialogue of hopelessness.
