SYNOPSIS
Set among the dairy shops and bars of Bairro Alto, rented rooms and prostitution strolls, the kitchens of the intellectual bourgeoisie and rush-hour buses, this is the love story of Dina and Django: two young delinquents who, without quite knowing how, end up murdering a taxi driver and being sentenced to several years in prison. A tale of small lies, blood oaths, scenes of jealousy, great illusions, and soap-opera-style romance. In Lisbon, 1974.
