But, as they're signing the deed to the house, her father, who was supposed to bring the check, ends up delivering the bad news that there is no money for the house, thus ending this young couple’s dream. However, Artur doesn’t want to come off as a bad parent, so he offers his attic to them so that they can start their life together. So, Paulo’s dream turns into an absolute nightmare, as their life as a couple is, in fact, shared with seven other people who are all very different from them and will start controlling their every move in a permanently tense environment. The Mata family, as it turns out, is all insane, the only exception being Susana. And even her will have a hard time convincing the rest of the family to accept and welcome their new member.

They have two children together, Ana and João, who were studying and living their teenage years in Luanda... Until the day the civil war broke out and everything fell apart.

In July, 1975, the Mendonça family, along with over five hundred thousand people, leave their belongings behind and embark on an air convoy that would become the biggest exodus in the history of the Portuguese people to a homeland that most only knew from photos and dubbed it Metropolis. In Lisbon, Joaquim and Natália, Álvaro’s brother-in-law and sister, take the Mendonça family in their small apartment, where they will try to get their lives back in order. However, over that hot summer of 1975, the integration seemed to be far from easy.

Marco Paulo

A comedy about difference, identity, and empathy. But with stuffing. And plastic eyes. In a country where plush dolls live as second-class citizens, a community fed up with being left on the shelf decides to organize. Between neighborhood cafes, shady laundromats, and bottled activism, FELP (Spectacular Front for Furry Freedom) is born, a movement that fights for rights as basic as political representation and access to clothes dryers with a "Delicates" setting. In this world where the main crime is being made of fur, there are power struggles, furry intrigue, doll trafficking, and conspiracy theories linking the Templars to Manzarra's success. Throughout the episodes, we will follow the journey of this group of dolls who only wanted to be treated with respect, but end up being tried in court.
