Bué Sabi (pronounced ‘bweh sabi’) portrays the unlikely friendship of three female characters: a troubled girl of Gypsy descent who lives in one of Lisbon’s toughest neighbourhoods, her best friend who is the teenage daughter of Cape Verdean emigrants, and the most recent addition to their group; a young girl who has had a privileged upbringing.
Despite their disparate backgrounds, they form a friendship free from discrimination; until one fateful evening, when they go out clubbing and events cause their lives to change forever…
