A house in Rua Cecílio de Sousa in Lisbon is the setting for the story of a couple in love who go to live there, taking only a bag full of money. They want to revolutionise their lives, make movies, create space, but soon discover that nothing is that easy. There are nightmares and guilt and a mass of practical matters to deal with. Eventually they end up sitting on a comfy sofa watching their own soap opera, their dreams behind them, framed and hanging on the wall.
