It's always good to watch a Portuguese movie. Too bad about Virgílio Castelo's overacting and the exagerated reliance on cliches to convey the movie's message. Otherwise an interesting movie dealing with important issues in Portuguese society.

É sempre bom assistir a um filme Português. Só é pena o excesso de actuação de Virgílio Castelo e a utilização exagerada de clichês para passar a mensagem do filme. De resto, um filme interessante que trata alguns temas importantes da sociedade portuguesa.

Portuguese music. Very funny, in a peculiar way... In a word: "castiço"!

You can watch my favorite song. It's about a strong urge to do something important right now - the strong voice - but postponing it for lots of small and trivial reasons - the weak voice. Enjoy!
