In the 1970s, Orlando Jesus was more than just a boxer: he embodied the tough spirit of Lisbon with its neighbourhood gyms, intense nights and marginal figures that shaped a generation. An intimate and imperfect portrait, where the camera captures the gestures and voices that still resist, preserving a time in the process of disappearance, the presence of Orlando Jesus and the Lisbon that shaped him.
