Brilliant sitcom about a Portuguese noble family that faces economic ruin. To survive, they rent rooms in their old and decayed family manor to tourists, while trying to conceal the fact from the elderly lady of the manor - brilliantly played by Amélia Rey Colaço. Ruy de Carvalho is unforgettable playing her son, a demented war hero-wannabe that can be frequently be found fantasy-fighting in his airplane simulator.
Although by today's standards the comedy may be a bit outdated, it is still good fun and will bring back memories of some iconic actors of Portuguese television and theater. Not to be missed if you understand the language, and especially if you are Portuguese.
