MRS. HOPE

SYNOPSIS

She had two sons, but only one is alive - Artur. He is married with Leonor and together they have a son Rodrigo, a wild teenager and the only Mrs. Hope grandson.
Herminia is her best friend, but her truly fellow is Paulina, a bold Angolan woman, mother of the teenager Joyce that Mrs. Hope considers as her goddaughter.

Mrs. Hope is the only “official” resident in this building, since the landlord decide to rent the remaining apartments for tourists. Since her house is now too spacious for her, and maybe looking for some company, Mrs. Hope decides to rent one of the bedrooms to her niece Joana, a young lawyer that is moving to Lisbon.

But Mrs. Hope will show her strength and boldness to everyone’s despair.

The approach of Mrs. Hope and António, the building owner, will reveal a story buried years ago that none of them are ready to live.This is already a love story. A funny and special one.
