Rui Pedro at his small grocery store in Mouraria, a historic working class neighborhood famous for its large number of immigrants in Lisbon. Rui is being evicted from the apartment where he grew up, next door to the grocery so the landlord can renovate it and rent on short term for tourists. He fears his grocery store will be next to be evicted. Mouraria is undergoing a fast process of gentrification, with several buildings being bought by foreigners.
