Young Gabriel worries about forgetting his late father’s face; Isabel, a single mother, frets about her son and how she will make ends meet; Firmino questions his sense of belonging after losing his garden which he considered his portal to Cape Verde. The lives of Gabriel, Isabel and Firmino intertwine in Nuno Boaventura Miranda’s The Last Harvest. Miranda offers an intergenerational portrait of a Cape Verdean community and diaspora living in Lisbon as they grapple with questions of identity and a shared longing for connection.
