Abstract(s)
The House of Maria Fruta tells the story of a Capeverdean woman, Maria Pires Lopes, who after a complex migratory experience in Portugal, The United States of America and in Germany decides to build her dream house in a segregated neighbourhood in the periphery of Lisbon.
The film explores the contradictory and multiple nature of diasporic identities, linking issues of postcolonial identity and displacement with processes of self-empowerment and cultural innovation produced in liminal spaces.
