O programa Novas Oportunidades foi um programa de educação com uma vertente baseada no reconhecimento e certificação escolar das aprendizagens realizadas fora da escola. Nestas sessões homens e mulheres pensam e discursam sobre a sua trajectória de vida, as condições que determinaram a sua existência e a sua dificuldade em existir. Falam da sua formação, da sua experiência profissional, das suas origens, produzindo uma pluralidade de pontos de vistas sobre a escola, a cidade, o campo, a família, o mundo operário e o universo do emprego. Partindo das histórias de vida dos protagonistas, o filme desloca‐se para uma abordagem ensaística sobre o trabalho no mundo contemporâneo.

Fragmentos de espaços e tempos, restos de épocas e locais onde apenas habitam memórias e fantasmas. Vestígios de coisas sobre as quais o tempo, os elementos, a natureza, e a própria acção humana modificaram e modificam. Com o tempo tudo deixa de ser, transformando-se eventualmente numa outra coisa. Lugares que deixaram de fazer sentido, de serem necessários, de estar na moda. Lugares esquecidos, obsoletos, inóspitos, vazios.
Não interessa aqui explicar porque foram criados e existiram, nem as razões porque se abandonaram ou foram transformados. Apenas se promove uma ideia, talvez poética, sobre algo que foi e é parte da(s) história(s) deste País.

They thought life would be simple. All material problems would be overcome. Every morning it would be good to have breakfast together, the table laid. It would be the beginning of a long day at work. The daily ritual of a house inhabited by a mother and the two-year-old daughter. The automatism of the gestures of material life and its suspension in small events.
