"Russian immigrant Lisa and her Portuguese husband, small-time crook Fernando, decide to take advantage of the wave of immigrants and turn their house in Copa do Vapor, Portugal, into a halfway home. To Lisa's dismay, Fernando's ex-wife is behind the scam and sets up a gang of misfits to falsify passports for illegals from Russia and Africa. But when a Russian orthopedic surgeon seeking documentation shows up, Lisa sees him as a way out of her rapidly deteriorating life. A noirish take on the American dream in Europe, this darkly hilarious film marks an impressive debut feature from filmmaker João Nuno Pinto."
