France has more than 200 football clubs of Portuguese origin in its amateur leagues. FAMILLE FC is an Atlas made out of vignettes of some of these clubs that gradually reveals aspects of their origin(s); rise and fall movements; the topography where they develop; joys and setbacks, friendships and rivalries; the relationship with the country left behind and that with the host country; intergenerational relations and the role of women; work and migrant associations; and the inexplicable stubbornness of being Portuguese. Because football is not a matter of life or death: much more important than that.
