A visually intense, poetic coming-of-age film in which 14-yearold David is forced to become the man of the house while his grandfather lives out his last days in hospital.
Day breaks on the eighth floor in a suburban neighbourhood of Lisbon and 14-year-old David’s grandfather is still in hospital. David's mother lives abroad with his younger half-sister, but she is staying for a few days. For David, it is a difficult reunion. The imminence of his grandfather's death and the void it will create force David to become the man of the house.
