Likes and Dislikes
- Plot was engaging but the subplots are not required which actually made the screenplay draggy and boredom.
- The murder of the mayor was not elucidated.
- The roles of the couple Matilha and Mafalda was unwanted to the plot.
- Acting of Humberto portrayed by Adriano Luz, his frazzled look, forte towards the work which embraced the plot.
- Missed in showing the city of Lisbon, Dulled screenplay.
