A Wall and A Fence
Small gestures can change the course of a life.
Elias lives alone in a house that is too big, now without his three children, who emigrated, and without his wife, who died. When a family moves into the house next door — one of many that have suddenly arrived on the South Bank of the Tagus, disrupting its peace —, he develops a dislike of and distrust towards his neighbours.
On the other hand, however, a boy neglected by his parents and by the greed of modern life gradually draws closer, curious despite the barriers erected by Elias. With Santiago having a turbulent start to fifth grade at the new school, the boy seeks comfort and attention from his neighbour.
The bond between Elias and Santiago grows, but disturbing news threatens their friendship and brings to the surface the difficult lives they lead, and the secrets they keep from each other.
