Plot

Anastácio's family, from Lisbon, had met on vacation, a long time ago, the Barata family, from Porto, in Caldas da Rainha, and lied to them about their wealth.[5] A decisive Sporting Club de Portugal's (the Lions or Leões in Portuguese because of the rampant lion in the sports club crest) away match with Futebol Clube do Porto is about to take place in the city of Porto. When he fails to get a train ticket to travel to Porto in an attempt to watch in loco the football game of his favourite football team from the sidelines, Anastácio, a Sporting Club de Portugal fan employed in a Lisbon office, pretends to be a wealthy individual in order to be able to go to the city of Porto with his family, where they will be hosted by the Barata family for a stay in their house.[6]
