Sinopsis

A spectacular view of the world as seen from Armando and Maria’s tower-block flat, eight floors up from the river Douro, and a comic, probing portrait of an elderly couple whose private life has remained permeable to the modern world. They share their visions like partners in crime, turning daily life into a brief comedy with a running commentary on what a decaying country still has to offer them.

Bio/Filmo
