Gender equality is bullshit, but that's going to change! Or is it? If until now this was a club for smooth-talking gentlemen, the film marks the debut of Détinha (Ana Bola), the legendary wife of Zezé (José Pedro Gomes). Decades of life together remembered as best as possible: their children's antics, the neighborhood where they always dumped their trash, the wedding that only those who were there forgot. From polyamory to fitness, from prostate "prostheses" to uterine "ovens," this couple has no taboos. But Zezé and Détinha have some secrets from each other... Unfortunately (or regrettably, Zezé would say), the Portuguese will have to find out. What a load of crap.
The plot could’ve really been interesting if the elements of lycanthropy was integrated with perhaps the struggle of identity of being LGBTQ+.
