Autobiographical documentary about an Easter vacation spent by the Ruivo’s family in the country town of Castelo de Vide, where the resurrection of Christ is traditionally celebrated with a “rattle” with a pagan resonance.
Five public figures are challenged by “Taskmaster” Vasco Palmeirim and his assistant Nuno Markl to overcome a series of fun tests with a small dose of madness.
A dramatic comedy told from the point of view of high school students, and their parents and teachers, about one of the most striking moments of Portuguese democracy: the presidential elections and the dispute between Freitas do Amaral and Mário Soares.
How happy and proud they are those two ladies back in Oporto! Thanks to them, their bright nephew can study medicine in Lisbon and may already have become a doctor. Little do they know, not only Vasco wastes all his time drinking, dancing and picking up girls but he has just failed his final exam! And in that same day, he receives an email from the two aunts announcing their visit to Lisbon! Will he be able to make them believe he is such a good student as they think?
In an alternative reality where his career has gone down the drain, Nuno Markl has no choice but to embrace a job at a small local radio station lost in a suburb of somewhat uncertain location: Rádio Calipso. There, he struggles to survive, adapting to the whims of the director, Almeno Menano (Francisco Martiniano Palma), a man who still believes that 'Freddy Mercury's bed must have been like the Mafra Convent, given the rat infestation'; to the bouts of star syndrome from the local celebrity Vilela Henriques (João Pedro Barata), host of the show "Arruaça Musical"; and to the slow reasoning of the multifaceted Dário (Jorge Vaz Gomes), the radio station's janitor.
