Exploration of the territory in a delirious time-space journey through the largest Megalopolis in America.

The life, the problems, the hopes of the ragazzi of the suburbs of Rome. Ignored by the city, these young men spontaneously express their vitality, their violence, their willingness to put themselves at risk. They are at the center of "Ragazzi di vita", the first novel by Pier Paolo Pasolini, author of the text of this documentary.

Den eviga staden is Vilhelm Jegerhjelm's debut film. A city portrait that follows the city from dusk to dawn. The people are the city's blood cells. Parts of a seemingly eternal cycle.

A quartet of refined elderly ladies gets together for coffee. Neatly dressed in houndstooth and pearls, they sip from elegant china and nibble on sweet cakes while discussing Viagra, cock rings, orgasms and quickies. Nothing's off the table as they reminisce about the past and revel in the sexual revolution that's come up around them, empowering their pleasure well into their twilight years.

The documentary offers an overview of the district of Cidade Tiradentes  and its inhabitants. It starts by the acquisition of land by the public  authorities from the 1970s onwards, to the occupation of what is today  one of the largest housing projects in Latin America.
