Sofia

The first portrait of the documentary series "Casa, Energia, Vida", produced in partnership with the "Empregos para o Clima" campaign (Climate Jobs), with the support of the Habita! collective.

Sofia tells us about the rising cost of living: how trips to the supermarket have become more and more agonizing, and how the oven and heater are only turned on for special occasions.

It speaks of energy poverty: and how from an early age she got used to being cold at home in winter, and hot in summer.

She talks to us about housing: how - even though she is forced to share living expenses - she feels privileged to have a rent "that's still payable", when most of her friends struggle to pay unaffordable rents for often undignifying rooms and apartments.
