Synopsis:
A documentary film devoted to Portuguese fado music that emerged at the beginning of the 19th century in poor neighborhoods of Lisbon. It consists of twenty songs and choreographies by famous musicians such as Amália Rodrigues, Mariza and Caetano Veloso. It is more of an homage to fado than it is a history.
