L'histoire de quelques jeunes gens qui refusent la résignation et qui ne se sentent bien nulle part. Ils ne baissent jamais les bras, sont toujours en quête. Ils ont en eux une force visible qui se répand partout, quelque chose qui est sur le point d'exploser. Ils ne savent pas ce qu'ils veulent mais il y a sans cesse quelque chose qui les dérange. Ils n'acceptent pas la place qu'on leur a imposée avant même qu'ils aient eu la possibilité de choisir quoi que ce soit. Ce sont des survivants. Le monde préférerait surement qu'ils n'existent pas, mais ils existent...

In 1974, not long after the death of Portuguese dictator Salazar, who had ruled Portugal from the early '30s to the late '60s, a group of disgruntled Army officers held a coup. They were even more disgruntled when they realized how the coup was being manipulated by leftist officers to instigate genuine elections and establish a constitution for the first time in Portuguese history. Though their intent was to form a radical socialist state, circumstances prevented this, and a genuine parliamentary democracy emerged. This film explores the circumstances of a right-wing businessman during those times. The man is an old-fashioned authoritarian, whose attentiveness to the needs of his mistress, wife and son is crude where it exists at all.

In a unique approach to what amounts to four pseudo-morality plays, director Monique Rutler has a street entertainer with hand puppets summarize the characters and idea of each story. The first sketch is about a young man who shines shoes for a living, and tries to keep up a relationship with two women while convincing each she is his only true love. The next story is about a man who beats up his wife when he is drunk, and sells furs for a living. One day, as she is riding in the back of his truck with the furs, he hits a bad patch and she and some furs fall out. The question is, will the woman be enterprising and leave the jerk - or not? The third tale concerns a woman looking into how much control a prostitute has over her clients, and to really find out, she becomes a prostitute herself for awhile - leading to some quite unexpected situations. The last segment handles the uglier side of the life styles of the rich and famous.
