House of Glass

Written and Directed by Filipe Martins

2018 | Fiction/Doc | 23’

Carlos is a homeless crack and heroin addict. He lives inside an abandoned car exhibitor on the edge of the Douro river in Porto. It is in this little House of Glass that he spends most of his time. When he is not here, his daily life is divided between the neighborhood of Aleixo and the parking lot of a supermarket where he asks for alms to sustain the addiction.
