Synopsis: ‘Ossos’ is a minimalist drama set in the Creole neighbourhood of Estrela d’África in Lisbon. Tina gives birth in hospital, returns home and immediately switches on the gas. Tina’s boyfriend, also a teenager, rescues the child, wraps it in a rubbish bag and goes out on the street begging. After a failed attempt to sell the child, the boy leaves the baby with a nurse, and later with a young prostitute. Meanwhile, Tina and her best friend, Clotilde, try to recover the child.
