What might put you off
  • It's in Portuguese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1954: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

Amadeu 'borrows' for 24 hours a wife, a villa, a car, and a servant - for he has been lies to his uncle all the time. All goes well. But, Costa decides to prolong his stay for two weeks...
