Life in Common follows a period in the life of Poeta and Belinha, a couple of Cape Verdean origin who lives in a community scheduled to be dismantled: the neighborhood of Barruncho, in Odivelas. Uncertain about the future, Poeta and Belinha take care of their animals and crops, and adjust to the daily changes.
