action

The film is set in the affluent and nouveau riche environment of the Paixão and Silva families. A high-profile and unsolved crime occurs and Anita Paixão disappears during her own birthday party.

A year later, the reappeared mother Anita and her three very different daughters, who are flirting with the three Silva brothers and fluctuating between bourgeois life, spoiled boredom and exploding hunger for life, agree to give an interview. In the interview, they reveal everything that happened and reveal new clues about this terrible event that upset the city.

reception

The film was shot in the Algarve and hit cinemas in Portugal on July 5, 2018. It then ran at a number of film festivals, including the Thessaloniki International Film Festival (TIFF). He was also nominated for a number of awards, especially the CinEuphoria Awards, but ended up with nothing.

The film was released on DVD in Portugal on November 21, 2018. It ran on television for the first time on May 3, 2020 on RTP1, the first channel of the public broadcaster RTP .

Film fans in Portugal showed different reactions, ranging from enthusiasm to disappointment. The settings and images and the contemporary structure of the narrative and its depth were often rated positively, the performance of some young actors, the Hollywood-oriented style, the unbelievable plot and gimmicky sex scenes were often mentioned negatively.
