"Blue Bird" is a letter to the director’s ancestors and a quest to understand the anxiety consuming his body, exploring how memories and the body intertwine.

In the fallout of nuclear war, totalitarian regimes reshape world order. Ernesto is hiding a secret, and when a government inspector shows up at his doorstep, a cat-and-mouse game unfolds — one that can only end in tragedy.

Prima and Lebsi are two young Afro-descendant women who grew up on the outskirts of Lisbon, daughters of immigrants who occasionally meet at a house party, on Cousin's birthday. Lebsi dates Rave, a young street dancer who makes a living dancing in the streets of central Lisbon, and they have a daughter in common. Prima is an orphan of both her father and mother and learned to let go of herself very early on. She lives alone with a cat and found selling cannabis as her alternative to generating money and paying the bills. Still, she is also a respected beat producer in the neighborhood. Both want to improve their lives, they dream of getting out of the “zone” but in the meantime they are living as best they can, asserting themselves in their way.
