Another doubt that plagues us is the content of the relationship between Soraia and Crómio, sorry, director Valter Matoso. They’re married, aren’t they? One thing is certain. Soraia continues to spread embers of the worst, and now wants to push her daughter Pipa (Mafalda Peres) on top of one of the school’s betos. With little success.
In these new “Morangos”, the poor are really poor and the rich are really rich
Olivia (Madalena Aragão) and Bruno (Gonçalo Braga) take care of their three younger siblings (almost) alone. We are not going to spoil the surprise about what happened here but we have to praise the realism of this narrative line: both in fiction and in reality, the Commission for the Protection of Children and Young People does not do its job well.
The brothers live in Agachada (wtf?) and are poor. But it’s not poor, the kind they walk around with an iPhone 13. It’s poor like that, dinner is pasta with pasta, served in a pan. The decors of the brothers’ house truly look like the home of a family that is going through financial difficulties, as well as their clothes, simpler and with a worn look.
The brothers go to Colégio da Barra because they have a scholarship. It is explained why they attend an expensive institution, whose main sporting activity is padel (or tennis for the lazy, as I like to call the sport). However, we are happy to see that, even though it is a school of betos, the horrible metal soup bowls are kept in the canteen (yes, those that existed in ‘our’ time, readers over 35 years old who still ran to the canteen queue when the bell sounded).
