Patrocinio (2026) s01e02 Episode Script
Episode 2
IN THE LAST EPISODE
It's a family with a lot of women,
it's intense.
As there are six women,
it isn't always easy.
Mariana, Carolina, Inês,
Rita, Monika and Victoria.
They're all adults now,
with their own personalities.
Turn around.
As for the Globes,
she lives for that day.
You look like Jasmine.
Sometimes it's easier to ask
people who are people pleasers
or that we know will always say
"how nice."
I have something spectacular that
I don't know.
I feel like the few times
I don't say it much at parties,
'cause I think that Mum
helps whenever she can,
but when it comes to leaving
the girls with her
It's happened many times,
she tells me:
"But Lelé's here and
I can't handle both of them."
-If your daughter was with me
-That never happens.
Because I don't like to ask,
you know? But, anyway.
Yeah, but that's not my problem.
When my mother takes her side,
that drives us further apart.
EPISODE 2
Now, seriously, when
do you think I'll be able to move?
-Realistically?
-Yeah.
The end of October.
Realistically.
The situation with the house is:
a house that is rented,
some people
who are building a house
and that construction
has been delayed.
So, Rita was expecting
to go to that house,
which has been postponed.
-They told me that last month.
-It's not
-It's hypothetical.
-Rita.
-It doesn't matter.
-Rita, you have your own home.
-I didn't ask you that.
-My tenants don't have a home.
If they leave,
-they don't have a home.
-They'll be out on the street.
-You have a house.
-That's not what I asked.
You have your clothes in the closet,
you have your things.
-Right.
-You're in your house.
That's why I've been condescending,
because I think it's cruel
for someone who's
comfortable in their home
to want to kick people out
because work has been delayed
It's something
more or less realistic,
they've already postponed it twice.
It's like bait for my mother.
My mother takes the bait.
And so the argument begins.
You know that remodeling work
isn't done when we want it to be.
I'll wait forever until
That's life, it doesn't go
the way we want it to.
It's a lack of commitment.
I had to
draw a line
so that she understood
that she has to wait.
That is, she has to calm down.
She can't expect things to happen
when she wants them to.
Mum, you could've said:
"Look, Rita, I'm sorry, I know
it's irritating and all, but"
-But that's what I said.
-For me, it's not serious.
You were very aggressive about this,
and I think you're being unfair.
You're very fortunate, and
I know I'm fortunate.
And I think you're being a little
"spoiled" in this situation.
You were aggressive,
you raised your voice
and I thought it was ridiculous.
I told you I found out that day
and that I'd agreed
with them to postpone it.
What do you want me to tell you?
You didn't answer me,
you didn't tell me anything.
I tried, as a mother,
to make her understand
that she has to be patient.
That's it.
Rita, let's drop it.
That's just the way it is.
We weren't talking about it anymore,
so it doesn't matter.
I My life, at your age
Well, 24 years old
-You already had three daughters.
-No, I had two.
Mariana was four years old
and Carolina was two.
Dad was 12 years old
when Mum had her first daughter.
That's crazy.
Nowadays, it's almost impossible
to have children at your age.
-People don't have a life
-There's no money.
In my time, it was more common.
I didn't have your freedom,
there were no Erasmus programme
-That's true as well.
-There weren't as many options
I remember asking my father
to let me go to study
in Switzerland.
And your grandfather said, "No."
And I said, "OK."
Monika has her convictions
and she defends them firmly.
She's a feisty person,
who fights.
And that's how Dad
ended up in Lisbon.
I worked as an event coordinator
in Europe
and they chose me
to do the set up
It was one of the most important
at the end of the Expo era
and I stayed here for a month
and a half, almost two months.
When I met Teresa, she had
four daughters of different ages.
The parents' separation,
a new person's arrival,
there were lots of things.
It was very hectic for everyone.
Joining a family like that,
at first, it's never easy.
You should go to nightclubs.
Don't forget that your father,
when he was young
studied and worked.
-This was almost like my Erasmus.
-But, did you sing and dance?
I did well backstage.
-Are there videos of that?
-Yeah.
-Have you seen them?
-Yeah.
-Yes, I showed them to them.
-So, how did the two of you meet?
In Portugal.
As for our love story,
I don't think
I feel like sharing it.
It's something of ours,
and I like to keep it to ourselves.
-Good morning.
-Good morning, Dad.
-Did you sleep well, Gon?
-I always sleep well.
-Today was great.
-Gon is the sleep champion.
Maybe Nocas is angry about
not sharing the house with us.
-No, I think that's coffee.
-Dad?
I think she's been angry all year.
Are we going on a boat ride today?
-But I haven't slept in 10 days.
-Wait, wait, you haven't slept?
It's getting better,
you got the kid out of the house.
And, you didn't sleep yesterday?
Yesterday? You said you slept well.
You just haven't slept in two days.
I like my vacation home
to be a calm place.
I don't like you coming in
and throwing everything
on the floor.
She and Tiago Tiago is messy
with his triathlon stuff.
The bike, he takes his clothes off
and throws them on the floor.
Then he goes swimming,
the wet swimsuits
To not bother my brother-in-law,
I talked to Rita
about the messiness:
"Do whatever it takes."
I'm exhausted.
Next year
we'll share a house with Nocas.
No, then we'll get up
at 6:00 a.m., like this.
I think Inês is just like Teresa.
They understand each other
with just a look.
Don't mention this.
Are you crazy or what?!
And João is just like Mark.
-Did you pack my suitcase?
-Relax. I didn't put it in
How was your vacation?
It's already the second year.
Really good, actually.
Very good.
-Is it really intense?
-No.
-I remember the first time
-Were you nervous?
The whole family was there.
I wasn't nervous,
but I wasn't expecting that chaos.
600 people in that house,
all screaming.
All screaming?
Yes, a lot of things happened,
that energy they have.
After that, nothing changed.
I mean, it's still the same chaos.
Thanks.
The family
There are always a lot of people,
lots of children, etc.
I put myself in their place a lot
and I think
this is a dream for them.
Children everywhere,
things to do at all hours.
No, it's perfect for them.
But it's chaotic, that's for sure
There's a lot of people.
After the vacation in El Algarve,
we need a vacation.
Yes, that's for sure.
Whole days recovering.
Recovery clinic.
-Vicky.
-Mum.
-Hi, we're arriving at the beach.
-Hi.
-I'm going too.
-OK.
Do you think
I can take the bus to Lisbon?
-Why?
-'Cause I think
-But, at what time?
-It's at 4:00 in Vilamoura.
But Dad will take you.
You have to go to the beach
anyway.
Yeah, I'm going there right now.
I'll be there in 15 minutes.
Apart from this discomfort,
I liked it a lot.
The sleepless nights?
-Sleepless nights
-You lived at night
and slept during the day.
The problem was your lack of sleep,
That's was I don't get.
It's not easy being with family
and friends on the beach nearby.
You leave exhausted, and now,
at the summer camp,
you're not going to rest either,
but
I'm tired, but I have memories.
-That's what matters.
-That's right.
I think Vicky is more like Carolina.
She's a natural communicator
and lots of fun.
She's always upbeat,
always with a positive attitude.
She shares
many of Carolina's traits.
Now, Lisbon. I left for you,
on the stairs at home,
the backpack
with everything you need.
Do you have the energy
for the kids?
You're going to detox
in the countryside.
-Total detox.
-From social media and all that?
Sleeping on the ground.
-It'll do me good after this.
-Singing, playing the guitar.
-What role were you assigned?
-I'm going to organize the games.
Our "war" at home
has more to do with culture.
In certain aspects of education,
I'm much more German
than Portuguese.
One of the most important things
that I've given my daughters
has been to raise them
to be independent,
and have their own lives.
In that way,
Teresa and I are the same.
Freedom also implies responsibility.
You have to start thinking
about when you're going to Berlin.
-You have to buy the ticket.
-Yeah.
You should go after
Mo and Tita are there.
-We'll go in October, right?
-We'll see.
But maybe we'll go
to the Christmas markets.
That would be great.
They have to live their own lives.
Sometimes they ask me:
"How can you
let your daughters go?"
Mo is now in Austria,
Vicky is in Berlin.
Who am I to tell them
not to go to another country?
I also left my family,
my mother, in Germany
and I came to Portugal.
We'll miss you a lot.
-We miss you at home.
-We talk on FaceTime.
When we're alone,
it's quieter.
The first few days are difficult,
we just have to get used to it.
-What time is it?
-3:00 p.m.
-Kisses.
-It's twenty minutes
-Love you.
-Love you. Take care.
You learn to live
with your daughters away.
At first it was difficult because,
suddenly, we were alone.
But Mark also helped me
because he has that
-Side.
-that side.
And it's much more common
in Germany than here in Portugal.
We miss them, but it's a question
of getting used to it.
-How are you, little sister?
-How are you?
-Here I am.
-They're all coming.
How are you doing?
What a pretty swimsuit.
-How are you?
-You look great!
Were we together last year?
No.
-Vicky, how was your vacation?
-Really crazy.
I have to calm down.
In fact, I already am.
You guys should come more.
My kids only know you
from TikTok.
No
This summer, I feel
like I only went to the beach
for a little while
and then I went to sleep.
You showed up with a man
that nobody had ever seen.
You were there next to him,
touching him.
Is he your boyfriend?
And then you say
he's not your boyfriend.
He's a friend of mine.
His friends
didn't want to go to the beach
so I told him to come with us.
He said to me: "You never know
what the future holds, girl."
-Girl?
-He talked to you like that?
"Are you talking to my sisters
like that? Really?"
I'm going to the shade,
I'm burning up.
We didn't do anything
this summer, all us sisters.
Give us a simple TikTok to do.
Not one of those
that look like a movie.
-I already did one
-There was one
Share post.
It's so hot! I want to finish
the TikTok in the pool.
That's it, superladies.
One, two, three.
My sisters have
a natural talent for that.
For Vicky, it's a piece of cake.
She's not embarrassed.
She can look ugly, or pretty,
with any old clothes.
She doesn't care.
Rita also has a natural talent.
Sometimes she starts thinking
that they're younger.
Inês doesn't do it
because she thinks it's cringey.
She admits it, "It's cringey and
I'm not going to do it with you."
"I don't want to appear on the
show Extremely Unpleasant ."
"It's going to be cringey,
everyone
is going to make fun of us."
One, two, three.
And Carolina does it well too.
And I'm in the middle
because I like to participate,
I don't want to spoil the vibe,
but I don't know if it's cool.
And now they come back in.
-And now, here,
-I'm sorry.
You have no rhythm.
We're not really doing it,
we're just rehearsing.
I don't know
if I should participate.
I like to participate,
but I think I mess up.
And they're bullies and they say:
"You're doing it wrong"
"It has to look natural."
But it's not natural for me.
And, since it's not natural,
I can't fake it.
-Relaxed shoulders!
-Because it's not real!
I think this is a little cringey.
Please. You're the cringey ones.
You're not
What? You doing that
and us
-Yes!
-And we're behind there
It's very cringey.
Really.
I'm 40 years old.
I don't know
if I should be doing TikToks.
Have you seen that Mariana
One of my legs
is as big as Mariana.
-The two together
-They're not as big as one of mine.
But she's trying hard
to gain weight.
-I've already put on weight.
-You're on the right track.
-You go, girl.
-I've already put on weight.
-That little bag.
-Look, it's mine.
-Monika.
-Just to annoy you.
I only use butt packs.
Mo, when you're older, you
can ask for it for your birthday.
It's just that it's not
A small bag doesn't match
my style of clothing, I don't like it.
I think I'd rework it.
I don't like it. It's not nice.
I don't wanna have anything here.
How annoying. I hate it.
-This is ridiculous.
-It looks great on you.
-It doesn't work on you.
-It looks great on you.
-It doesn't look good?
-No, drop it.
-It makes you look older.
-It makes you look very grown up.
-It's not your style.
-It's not.
We all get along well
and we have a very strong
connection.
It's almost impossible
to coordinate our schedules,
but we tried
They came to spend a few days
with us in the Algarve,
which I think they like too.
And it was great to be all together.
I'm very proud to see them growing
as working women,
dealing with adult issues now.
One thing we also
could do together,
a really nice thing,
would be to talk about our goals.
Essentially,
what we want for the future,
not just in personal terms,
but professional
-For you, children
-You're so sweet.
You're at the start of your life,
I feel
like I'm in the middle of mine.
So, any goals
aren't for the rest of my life.
There may be different proportions
of small everyday things
that you think you can improve.
Yes, small decisions:
reading more,
turning off my phone more,
calling my children more,
not letting them spend so much time
with the tablets, because I,
and Carol too, we try to put limits
on the children,
but we use our phones a lot too.
-What about you, Carol?
-Being firmer and saying no.
Look, it's summer.
If I start thinking
about the future,
I'm busy until November.
I know where I'm going to be
every week, every weekend.
It's very difficult
to cancel things.
And I have to fit Gonçalo
and four children in this equation.
-They're not just my priorities.
-And that causes some anxiety.
I think there are expectations of me
and I don't like
-To let people down.
-not meet those expectations.
And I'm constantly
trying to catch up.
That's part of my personality,
to please, to give.
And you can't please everyone.
Since I avoid conflict,
I prefer to please.
So, I avoid conflict a lot.
-And Rita?
-I have thousands of requests.
And, as for the family,
I'd like to have another baby
in the future.
-We support you.
-Now, if I think about it a lot
The secret is
-not to think too much.
-Yeah.
The last two years,
this last one not so much,
but I think I've been trying
to steady the boat more
and be the best I can
for my children
and survive, somehow.
Being present, either
at work or with the children.
And managing to not feel guilty
for not being somewhere else.
Sisters, I think it would be good
for each of us to write,
essentially, these things.
And then, in a few months,
we can look back
at these papers and reflect
on whether we've changed,
and we're trying to reach them.
Or we've forgotten things
that seemed important to us today.
And I think it would be nice
if we did it together.
-All right, little sister.
-Okay, Mo.
I've already saved a lot
on therapy.
No.
Monika made us think a little
about what we want from our lives,
she was like a little sister saying:
"And you, who are already adults
and you're married, with children,
what do you want to change?"
And that was good.
It was an important exercise.
-Thanks.
-Thanks, sis.
Cheers.
-Hi.
-Hi.
Some squats to warm up.
Five, four You didn't recovered
from the fourth.
Down, weight on your heels.
Chest forward.
Don't go down so far.
Lock your heels. Up.
You didn't rest enough.
With your hands.
Stretch everything.
-That little butt isn't growing?
-Dumbass.
-A tiny ass.
-Dumbass.
Virgílio, do something.
-She's jealous.
-She's a dumbass.
My sister Mariana,
used to train with me at times.
Sometimes she'd go a year
without training,
but now she's committed.
Rita started coming with us
and now she's very committed.
They literally stole my schedule,
which was sacred.
-Rest.
-Come on.
You didn't rest
over the weekend?
Mariana didn't do it
with this weight.
-She's got cramps.
-No, when they complain,
it's serious.
You talk the most when training.
-Right, Virgílio?
-I talk the most
and I train the most.
The one who talks the least
is Mariana.
I think Mariana takes training
more seriously,
but I think I try harder
and I think
that can be demonstrated.
You have to do rankings
of this training.
You're going to lose, Carolina,
you'd better not.
Who's the best
when it comes to exercise,
who complains the least?
It's Mariana.
I'm the one
who complains the least.
I've got cramps today,
but that's not normal.
Who's got the smallest butt?
You're talking a lot,
you should be here already.
On the other hand,
it's fun, it's competitive.
If one of them does it,
the others want to do it too.
We tease each other a lot.
Mariana!
-I'm going to try again.
-Terrible.
-I did it a moment ago.
-You were going to kill yourself.
You have talent for many things,
but to hang there
-What?
-To hang there
-Get over there.
-I can do it, I'm tall.
My sisters made it more fun,
but they're also very distracting.
But sometimes
it's not very productive
and our trainer, the poor thing,
complains a lot that it's difficult
to train the three of us together.
-Observe.
-The weight on your heels.
-Virgílio, give us your ranking.
-Perfect.
-Observe.
-I did one more set.
Can you comment
on the execution of this exercise?
-Perfect.
-You talk a lot and do little.
Good afternoon, welcome
to the most famous red carpet,
at this 29th edition
of the Golden Globes.
Here we'll see actors,
actresses, directors,
comedians, journalists,
Portugal's most important figures.
Thank you! See you later.
Thanks.
Thank you! See you later.
At Portugal's only well-known gala,
the Golden Globes,
I have to be focused
on the presentation on the carpet,
the texts and the names.
I declare you the winner of
the prize for the best presenter.
There will be presenters,
actors, journalists,
comedians, the figures of the year.
We have international stars,
Laura Pausini,
the most listened to Italian
in the world.
You should say:
"I can't believe
that I finally like the songs."
"I never know who the singers are
and this year Laura Pausini
has come."
The solitude
Laura Pausini in Portugal,
will sing in Portuguese.
I remember when you went to the
Oscars
and memorized how many meters
of cables there were
'cause you were afraid
there would be problems
with the live broadcast.
You were like: "We have here I don't
know how many meters of cables."
"It takes 400 people"
I don't know how many glasses,
champagne glasses
It was really fun.
when you talked about that.
I didn't always dream
about being a TV presenter.
I think that, when I was six
or seven, I started to imagine,
it wasn't even dreaming,
being on stages.
-Good morning!
-Good morning, artists!
I never saw myself as a presenter.
I went to auditions
to be an actress.
I really liked to dance.
In my head, what made
the most sense was being a dancer.
With this whole mess,
I still have to do
all these buttons.
-God help me.
-Yeah.
-There are only about 50.
-You can do it, man.
Good evening,
welcome to the red carpet.
This cape is so heavy
that I'm going to walk like
my right shoulder drooping.
I'm afraid of them stepping
on your cape. Only ten to go.
Or are you just feeling
the weight of responsibility?
I can feel it,
on the main stage there are
more minutes of television, more
And you're the host
of the broadcast.
-Yeah.
-That's it, done.
Look at the difference.
It looks beautiful on you.
I'm going to walk backwards
so that people can appreciate
your work.
There are no holidays on television.
I often work on weekends.
And I'm always away
when I could be with family.
So, I owe a lot to my husband,
because he gives me
a lot of strength.
He calls me when I'm away
and, instead of telling me
that the children miss me or
He tells me to take advantage
of it, to enjoy it.
That helps me not feel guilty.
-Can you zip it up?
-Yes.
We have to do it with love.
I change my panties,
and the dress.
A Pretty Woman moment.
-And I ready?
-Let's go, let's get out of here.
-Let's get out of here
If I could have a superpower
it would be cloning myself,
because my job
depends a lot on my presence
and if I were in several places
at once,
I would make more money
and it would be faster.
Wait, I have to shoot a video
for a great friend of mine,
Rita Patrocínio, who has been
criticizing my looks.
Rita, look at this.
I'm going to send her a message.
And the hamburger I was promised?
I can't find it.
Where's the hamburger?
French fries?
-They're not good.
-No problem.
I love a good hamburger.
Hello.
-How are you, sweetheart?
-Hi.
Aren't you going to be cold
in that?
I'm warm enough.
I've always had motorcycles.
When I got separated,
I needed to get a new motorbike
to really start over.
So I bought a yellow motorcycle.
Beautiful, I love my bike.
Inês, especially as an adolescent,
between her feisty personality,
and her different interests,
was a bit critical of her sisters
who wore makeup,
went out with their boyfriends
and for how they dressed
And Inês clashed a bit
with her older sisters.
Here we are.
-Hi! Hi.
-Hi.
-Bernardo, my friend.
-Hi, Inês.
My daughter Inês.
Long time no see!
Thanks.
My daughter Inês,
who, as I told you,
loves history books,
will go crazy here
I didn't know about this place.
He told me you like World War II.
Just these books here are
Look, Dad, the family album
of Nicolás and Alejandra.
I can tell you the story
It's not going to fit
inside the helmet.
You can take it,
I'll give it to you.
-You're joking.
-That's true.
-Seriously?
-She doesn't know me.
Thank you.
She doesn't know me.
Spectacular.
I felt like a little girl
in a candy shop.
I loved meeting the antique dealer.
It was spectacular.
This is my sanctuary,
where I work at night.
Lucky you.
Check out the chaos
of a bookseller's life.
That's why I sometimes work
until 4 or 5 in the morning.
In this beautiful room.
I wish I could travel back in time
and meet Churchill.
He was a man
who changed the course of history.
He was a man
with a very sharp sense of humor,
sensitive, and very cultured.
I could be here for hours
talking about him,
but I wish I could travel back
in time not just for Churchill.
It's curious that Pedro told me
that you really liked Churchill,
because he's the historical figure
I like the most.
No. My father didn't tell me that.
-Yeah.
-I'm a big fan of his.
And I've had things signed by him
here.
I have a bust of him at home.
In my room, as a teenager,
I had a poster of Churchill
on my door.
I never tired of reading about him.
I finish a book, a movie
or a documentary about him
and I want to know more.
I think that's where my fascination
comes from.
At first, her sisters maybe
teased her about being
the intellectual in the family,
who read History.
I remember being on vacation
in Ibiza when I was younger
and I was reading It wasn't
about Churchill, it was a novel.
And they told me that I was pale
and that I had to get some sun.
And that I was in Ibiza,
but I was the color of this paper.
I think they even tried
to be nice, like:
"Do this, it'll do you good,
then you'll come back."
But I felt a little misunderstood.
It's also part
of my dramatic personality.
I was angry with Inês
about several little things
that had come up recently.
And when my sisters and I fight,
we spend a few days
not talking to each other.
There was tension
with my sister Inês.
She had said, behind our backs
I don't know
if she called us stupid,
or something like that.
And then it depends
how each one sees the situation.
-Inês, you don't want to talk?
-No, I don't.
I wouldn't take a cream cakes class
under other circumstances.
But, once I'm there,
I take advantage of it.
-Good evening.
-Is this my place?
We were angry,
but we had to do it.
And I don't like to look weak.
I don't like to not show up.
And I went.
-Welcome to the workshop.
-Thank you.
The dough is very simple,
it only has flour, water and salt.
You can put two pinches of salt
in each of your bowls.
-A "pinch" is very subjective.
-As you prefer.
Mix it with your hands.
We're going to get our hands dirty
with flour.
-OK. In terms of your nails
-You just have to mix.
Half of the dough stays
on your nails,
but don't worry about it.
You thought you were going
to make cream cakes,
but we're getting a bit
out of our comfort zones.
When we got angry with each other,
I stopped talking to Inês.
I didn't look her in the face
and I didn't talk to her.
-Mix a little more
-I now have the
-Is that to make a ball?
-Yeah.
Look, like this.
That's it. Now what?
Great, now we can put it
on the countertop
-That's how the baker does it.
-Exactly.
Like, between sisters
there's always a lot of love, right?
With the roller, we're going
to remove the excess love a bit.
And think of the sister who least
I felt so bad, so sad
because I felt like they were
ignoring me
when I was making a huge effort
to be there.
I see you don't hate your sisters.
-No.
-You love them very much.
-You're being very calm.
-She's fake.
If she'd had a knife,
she would've done this.
It's a test to see who
is dangerous and likes to live
On the edge.
I wondered
if I should've been there.
Maybe there were moments
when I thought about going home.
Pistachios mixed with normal things?
-Just pistachios.
-She's never tried them.
I was there trying not to cry
and then
The result was what it was.
-Look.
-Mine is perfect.
Very pretty.
Passed, with flying colors.
-Very pretty.
-Do you want to hire us?
We all pretended that everything
was fine, but that's not healthy.
Speaking for myself,
I do that a lot.
I would've cleared the air
right there.
I think it's going to explode.
PEDRO'S HOUSE
-I think I
-Family therapy today?
-Today, during lunch?
-You're the therapists.
We're very used to
managing crises.
Mariana is usually good
at advising us
on how to manage daughter crises.
-They're insufferable.
-They're insufferable.
I'm Mariana, Pedro's wife,
stepmother to Mariana,
Carolina, Inês and Rita.
I've been in this family
for 12 years
and it's been a lot of fun.
When the four of them are together,
it's very hard to get in there.
They have their own language.
Although I'm able to interpret them,
I don't contribute much if I try
because it's your dynamic.
It's curious,
our husbands say the same thing.
Yes, we
Look, the husbands and I
also form a clan.
We don't have a chat yet,
but maybe I'll create one
so we can do therapy together.
-Mariana is ready to attack.
-Yeah?
-I'll stop her
-But I think it's good.
-Oh, really?
-I'm not against it.
I know Inês said something
annoying and inappropriate.
Annoying? Annoying is one thing,
but she called me stupid,
she said we were useless,
and that we're envious.
It's not something annoying,
it was just uncomfortable.
They're gratuitous insults.
I don't think
there's any other option.
You have to apologize,
you have to face the situation
and talk to people.
And that's not what has happened.
Hi!
What does it say here?
The happiest in the world?
Five people, maximum.
I hope you are the happiest.
-Who gave us this?
-Maria Roquette.
Carol, put more there, alright?
I have
-Maybe, sit at the head.
-Sit there in the middle.
-It doesn't matter.
-Dad, come on.
The ones having the hardest time
or those who show it the most
when they're angry
are Mariana and Inês.
Ever since they were little,
for some reason,
or because
of their similar personalities,
they got angry and fought a lot.
The bottle?
-Who wants soup?
-I don't, thanks.
No, thanks.
Everyone wants some, except
I realized
that there had been a fight,
but my way of reacting
is to do nothing
and wait for the storm to pass.
-You don't want any soup, Inês?
-No, thanks.
It's creamy, it's good.
The tension in the air was palpable.
I knew there was going to be
an elephant in the room.
There were many things to say
that I didn't want to say or hear.
-Can you eat cakes here?
-Cream cakes?
Cream cakes?
The ones we made?
-Yeah.
-I ate a bunch yesterday.
I knew there had been a fight
between them.
I wasn't sure if it was just
between Mariana and Inês
or if it was between Inês
and all the sisters.
One of the conclusions
I came to in adulthood
was that Dad is right 99%
of the time, but not always.
And I grew up thinking
that he was always right.
I still think that.
That's because
I make few mistakes.
-And, do you apologize?
-Do I apologize?
It's not my strong suit,
but I do.
-Look, Inês, do you apologize?
-I do.
I didn't come to air dirty laundry.
But I often apologize.
Think about whether you should
apologize to me.
-You too.
-I already did.
I'm not gonna talk about this here.
This isn't Big Brother .
If you want
-Alright
-That hurt me.
It happened on my birthday.
You don't think
you should apologize to me?
No, I didn't do anything wrong.
Not even on your birthday.
Inês is very stubborn.
And she always has been.
She attacked us
in a completely exaggerated way.
She said we were envious, stupid
and that we had shitty jobs.
It's not that I like to argue,
but I can do it.
But it's on the ground
that I choose, when I choose.
A person who hurts another,
even unintentionally,
should apologize.
I don't think she meant it.
Why do you wait until there's
a camera to talk about this?
They knew I don't feel comfortable
in that setting,
with cameras, and I think the fact
that they didn't talk to me
and they're exposing my life
in such a crude way
Dad, can I talk?
They asked you and you answered.
I'm asking Inês and I think
she should apologize to me.
OK.
Inês gave a general answer
She said she doesn't need
to apologize to me.
I said I didn't want to talk here.
Exactly.
You said you didn't do it
with bad intentions.
And that's not true.
I'm not gonna talk about this
here.
Understand?
Do you speak Portuguese? OK.
No, I don't speak Portuguese.
I speak your language,
which is smarter.
What cannot be is
for a person to say
that they want to talk about
something
if the other person doesn't want to.
She may even want to talk
and they start to fight.
But if they don't want to do that,
there's nobody
Then stop filming.
And that got worse in a way
It was getting to a point
that I, as a father,
don't remember seeing
in recent years.
IN UPCOMING EPISODES
The four of us
don't usually do sports.
Or we get very competitive
or we get angry.
-Hi.
-Hi.
Getting over a separation,
of course, was really difficult.
Inês' wedding was something
Well.
I'm sorry.
-A big kiss and a hug.
-Cheers.
Is it the first time
for the two of you?
Yeah.
I've never been to a fortune teller.
I don't like to admit it,
but I think it affected me.
Give that to your sister.
Mi, don't cry.
Gonçalo, help me, please.
This has been the hardest year
since we've been together.
It's a family with a lot of women,
it's intense.
As there are six women,
it isn't always easy.
Mariana, Carolina, Inês,
Rita, Monika and Victoria.
They're all adults now,
with their own personalities.
Turn around.
As for the Globes,
she lives for that day.
You look like Jasmine.
Sometimes it's easier to ask
people who are people pleasers
or that we know will always say
"how nice."
I have something spectacular that
I don't know.
I feel like the few times
I don't say it much at parties,
'cause I think that Mum
helps whenever she can,
but when it comes to leaving
the girls with her
It's happened many times,
she tells me:
"But Lelé's here and
I can't handle both of them."
-If your daughter was with me
-That never happens.
Because I don't like to ask,
you know? But, anyway.
Yeah, but that's not my problem.
When my mother takes her side,
that drives us further apart.
EPISODE 2
Now, seriously, when
do you think I'll be able to move?
-Realistically?
-Yeah.
The end of October.
Realistically.
The situation with the house is:
a house that is rented,
some people
who are building a house
and that construction
has been delayed.
So, Rita was expecting
to go to that house,
which has been postponed.
-They told me that last month.
-It's not
-It's hypothetical.
-Rita.
-It doesn't matter.
-Rita, you have your own home.
-I didn't ask you that.
-My tenants don't have a home.
If they leave,
-they don't have a home.
-They'll be out on the street.
-You have a house.
-That's not what I asked.
You have your clothes in the closet,
you have your things.
-Right.
-You're in your house.
That's why I've been condescending,
because I think it's cruel
for someone who's
comfortable in their home
to want to kick people out
because work has been delayed
It's something
more or less realistic,
they've already postponed it twice.
It's like bait for my mother.
My mother takes the bait.
And so the argument begins.
You know that remodeling work
isn't done when we want it to be.
I'll wait forever until
That's life, it doesn't go
the way we want it to.
It's a lack of commitment.
I had to
draw a line
so that she understood
that she has to wait.
That is, she has to calm down.
She can't expect things to happen
when she wants them to.
Mum, you could've said:
"Look, Rita, I'm sorry, I know
it's irritating and all, but"
-But that's what I said.
-For me, it's not serious.
You were very aggressive about this,
and I think you're being unfair.
You're very fortunate, and
I know I'm fortunate.
And I think you're being a little
"spoiled" in this situation.
You were aggressive,
you raised your voice
and I thought it was ridiculous.
I told you I found out that day
and that I'd agreed
with them to postpone it.
What do you want me to tell you?
You didn't answer me,
you didn't tell me anything.
I tried, as a mother,
to make her understand
that she has to be patient.
That's it.
Rita, let's drop it.
That's just the way it is.
We weren't talking about it anymore,
so it doesn't matter.
I My life, at your age
Well, 24 years old
-You already had three daughters.
-No, I had two.
Mariana was four years old
and Carolina was two.
Dad was 12 years old
when Mum had her first daughter.
That's crazy.
Nowadays, it's almost impossible
to have children at your age.
-People don't have a life
-There's no money.
In my time, it was more common.
I didn't have your freedom,
there were no Erasmus programme
-That's true as well.
-There weren't as many options
I remember asking my father
to let me go to study
in Switzerland.
And your grandfather said, "No."
And I said, "OK."
Monika has her convictions
and she defends them firmly.
She's a feisty person,
who fights.
And that's how Dad
ended up in Lisbon.
I worked as an event coordinator
in Europe
and they chose me
to do the set up
It was one of the most important
at the end of the Expo era
and I stayed here for a month
and a half, almost two months.
When I met Teresa, she had
four daughters of different ages.
The parents' separation,
a new person's arrival,
there were lots of things.
It was very hectic for everyone.
Joining a family like that,
at first, it's never easy.
You should go to nightclubs.
Don't forget that your father,
when he was young
studied and worked.
-This was almost like my Erasmus.
-But, did you sing and dance?
I did well backstage.
-Are there videos of that?
-Yeah.
-Have you seen them?
-Yeah.
-Yes, I showed them to them.
-So, how did the two of you meet?
In Portugal.
As for our love story,
I don't think
I feel like sharing it.
It's something of ours,
and I like to keep it to ourselves.
-Good morning.
-Good morning, Dad.
-Did you sleep well, Gon?
-I always sleep well.
-Today was great.
-Gon is the sleep champion.
Maybe Nocas is angry about
not sharing the house with us.
-No, I think that's coffee.
-Dad?
I think she's been angry all year.
Are we going on a boat ride today?
-But I haven't slept in 10 days.
-Wait, wait, you haven't slept?
It's getting better,
you got the kid out of the house.
And, you didn't sleep yesterday?
Yesterday? You said you slept well.
You just haven't slept in two days.
I like my vacation home
to be a calm place.
I don't like you coming in
and throwing everything
on the floor.
She and Tiago Tiago is messy
with his triathlon stuff.
The bike, he takes his clothes off
and throws them on the floor.
Then he goes swimming,
the wet swimsuits
To not bother my brother-in-law,
I talked to Rita
about the messiness:
"Do whatever it takes."
I'm exhausted.
Next year
we'll share a house with Nocas.
No, then we'll get up
at 6:00 a.m., like this.
I think Inês is just like Teresa.
They understand each other
with just a look.
Don't mention this.
Are you crazy or what?!
And João is just like Mark.
-Did you pack my suitcase?
-Relax. I didn't put it in
How was your vacation?
It's already the second year.
Really good, actually.
Very good.
-Is it really intense?
-No.
-I remember the first time
-Were you nervous?
The whole family was there.
I wasn't nervous,
but I wasn't expecting that chaos.
600 people in that house,
all screaming.
All screaming?
Yes, a lot of things happened,
that energy they have.
After that, nothing changed.
I mean, it's still the same chaos.
Thanks.
The family
There are always a lot of people,
lots of children, etc.
I put myself in their place a lot
and I think
this is a dream for them.
Children everywhere,
things to do at all hours.
No, it's perfect for them.
But it's chaotic, that's for sure
There's a lot of people.
After the vacation in El Algarve,
we need a vacation.
Yes, that's for sure.
Whole days recovering.
Recovery clinic.
-Vicky.
-Mum.
-Hi, we're arriving at the beach.
-Hi.
-I'm going too.
-OK.
Do you think
I can take the bus to Lisbon?
-Why?
-'Cause I think
-But, at what time?
-It's at 4:00 in Vilamoura.
But Dad will take you.
You have to go to the beach
anyway.
Yeah, I'm going there right now.
I'll be there in 15 minutes.
Apart from this discomfort,
I liked it a lot.
The sleepless nights?
-Sleepless nights
-You lived at night
and slept during the day.
The problem was your lack of sleep,
That's was I don't get.
It's not easy being with family
and friends on the beach nearby.
You leave exhausted, and now,
at the summer camp,
you're not going to rest either,
but
I'm tired, but I have memories.
-That's what matters.
-That's right.
I think Vicky is more like Carolina.
She's a natural communicator
and lots of fun.
She's always upbeat,
always with a positive attitude.
She shares
many of Carolina's traits.
Now, Lisbon. I left for you,
on the stairs at home,
the backpack
with everything you need.
Do you have the energy
for the kids?
You're going to detox
in the countryside.
-Total detox.
-From social media and all that?
Sleeping on the ground.
-It'll do me good after this.
-Singing, playing the guitar.
-What role were you assigned?
-I'm going to organize the games.
Our "war" at home
has more to do with culture.
In certain aspects of education,
I'm much more German
than Portuguese.
One of the most important things
that I've given my daughters
has been to raise them
to be independent,
and have their own lives.
In that way,
Teresa and I are the same.
Freedom also implies responsibility.
You have to start thinking
about when you're going to Berlin.
-You have to buy the ticket.
-Yeah.
You should go after
Mo and Tita are there.
-We'll go in October, right?
-We'll see.
But maybe we'll go
to the Christmas markets.
That would be great.
They have to live their own lives.
Sometimes they ask me:
"How can you
let your daughters go?"
Mo is now in Austria,
Vicky is in Berlin.
Who am I to tell them
not to go to another country?
I also left my family,
my mother, in Germany
and I came to Portugal.
We'll miss you a lot.
-We miss you at home.
-We talk on FaceTime.
When we're alone,
it's quieter.
The first few days are difficult,
we just have to get used to it.
-What time is it?
-3:00 p.m.
-Kisses.
-It's twenty minutes
-Love you.
-Love you. Take care.
You learn to live
with your daughters away.
At first it was difficult because,
suddenly, we were alone.
But Mark also helped me
because he has that
-Side.
-that side.
And it's much more common
in Germany than here in Portugal.
We miss them, but it's a question
of getting used to it.
-How are you, little sister?
-How are you?
-Here I am.
-They're all coming.
How are you doing?
What a pretty swimsuit.
-How are you?
-You look great!
Were we together last year?
No.
-Vicky, how was your vacation?
-Really crazy.
I have to calm down.
In fact, I already am.
You guys should come more.
My kids only know you
from TikTok.
No
This summer, I feel
like I only went to the beach
for a little while
and then I went to sleep.
You showed up with a man
that nobody had ever seen.
You were there next to him,
touching him.
Is he your boyfriend?
And then you say
he's not your boyfriend.
He's a friend of mine.
His friends
didn't want to go to the beach
so I told him to come with us.
He said to me: "You never know
what the future holds, girl."
-Girl?
-He talked to you like that?
"Are you talking to my sisters
like that? Really?"
I'm going to the shade,
I'm burning up.
We didn't do anything
this summer, all us sisters.
Give us a simple TikTok to do.
Not one of those
that look like a movie.
-I already did one
-There was one
Share post.
It's so hot! I want to finish
the TikTok in the pool.
That's it, superladies.
One, two, three.
My sisters have
a natural talent for that.
For Vicky, it's a piece of cake.
She's not embarrassed.
She can look ugly, or pretty,
with any old clothes.
She doesn't care.
Rita also has a natural talent.
Sometimes she starts thinking
that they're younger.
Inês doesn't do it
because she thinks it's cringey.
She admits it, "It's cringey and
I'm not going to do it with you."
"I don't want to appear on the
show Extremely Unpleasant ."
"It's going to be cringey,
everyone
is going to make fun of us."
One, two, three.
And Carolina does it well too.
And I'm in the middle
because I like to participate,
I don't want to spoil the vibe,
but I don't know if it's cool.
And now they come back in.
-And now, here,
-I'm sorry.
You have no rhythm.
We're not really doing it,
we're just rehearsing.
I don't know
if I should participate.
I like to participate,
but I think I mess up.
And they're bullies and they say:
"You're doing it wrong"
"It has to look natural."
But it's not natural for me.
And, since it's not natural,
I can't fake it.
-Relaxed shoulders!
-Because it's not real!
I think this is a little cringey.
Please. You're the cringey ones.
You're not
What? You doing that
and us
-Yes!
-And we're behind there
It's very cringey.
Really.
I'm 40 years old.
I don't know
if I should be doing TikToks.
Have you seen that Mariana
One of my legs
is as big as Mariana.
-The two together
-They're not as big as one of mine.
But she's trying hard
to gain weight.
-I've already put on weight.
-You're on the right track.
-You go, girl.
-I've already put on weight.
-That little bag.
-Look, it's mine.
-Monika.
-Just to annoy you.
I only use butt packs.
Mo, when you're older, you
can ask for it for your birthday.
It's just that it's not
A small bag doesn't match
my style of clothing, I don't like it.
I think I'd rework it.
I don't like it. It's not nice.
I don't wanna have anything here.
How annoying. I hate it.
-This is ridiculous.
-It looks great on you.
-It doesn't work on you.
-It looks great on you.
-It doesn't look good?
-No, drop it.
-It makes you look older.
-It makes you look very grown up.
-It's not your style.
-It's not.
We all get along well
and we have a very strong
connection.
It's almost impossible
to coordinate our schedules,
but we tried
They came to spend a few days
with us in the Algarve,
which I think they like too.
And it was great to be all together.
I'm very proud to see them growing
as working women,
dealing with adult issues now.
One thing we also
could do together,
a really nice thing,
would be to talk about our goals.
Essentially,
what we want for the future,
not just in personal terms,
but professional
-For you, children
-You're so sweet.
You're at the start of your life,
I feel
like I'm in the middle of mine.
So, any goals
aren't for the rest of my life.
There may be different proportions
of small everyday things
that you think you can improve.
Yes, small decisions:
reading more,
turning off my phone more,
calling my children more,
not letting them spend so much time
with the tablets, because I,
and Carol too, we try to put limits
on the children,
but we use our phones a lot too.
-What about you, Carol?
-Being firmer and saying no.
Look, it's summer.
If I start thinking
about the future,
I'm busy until November.
I know where I'm going to be
every week, every weekend.
It's very difficult
to cancel things.
And I have to fit Gonçalo
and four children in this equation.
-They're not just my priorities.
-And that causes some anxiety.
I think there are expectations of me
and I don't like
-To let people down.
-not meet those expectations.
And I'm constantly
trying to catch up.
That's part of my personality,
to please, to give.
And you can't please everyone.
Since I avoid conflict,
I prefer to please.
So, I avoid conflict a lot.
-And Rita?
-I have thousands of requests.
And, as for the family,
I'd like to have another baby
in the future.
-We support you.
-Now, if I think about it a lot
The secret is
-not to think too much.
-Yeah.
The last two years,
this last one not so much,
but I think I've been trying
to steady the boat more
and be the best I can
for my children
and survive, somehow.
Being present, either
at work or with the children.
And managing to not feel guilty
for not being somewhere else.
Sisters, I think it would be good
for each of us to write,
essentially, these things.
And then, in a few months,
we can look back
at these papers and reflect
on whether we've changed,
and we're trying to reach them.
Or we've forgotten things
that seemed important to us today.
And I think it would be nice
if we did it together.
-All right, little sister.
-Okay, Mo.
I've already saved a lot
on therapy.
No.
Monika made us think a little
about what we want from our lives,
she was like a little sister saying:
"And you, who are already adults
and you're married, with children,
what do you want to change?"
And that was good.
It was an important exercise.
-Thanks.
-Thanks, sis.
Cheers.
-Hi.
-Hi.
Some squats to warm up.
Five, four You didn't recovered
from the fourth.
Down, weight on your heels.
Chest forward.
Don't go down so far.
Lock your heels. Up.
You didn't rest enough.
With your hands.
Stretch everything.
-That little butt isn't growing?
-Dumbass.
-A tiny ass.
-Dumbass.
Virgílio, do something.
-She's jealous.
-She's a dumbass.
My sister Mariana,
used to train with me at times.
Sometimes she'd go a year
without training,
but now she's committed.
Rita started coming with us
and now she's very committed.
They literally stole my schedule,
which was sacred.
-Rest.
-Come on.
You didn't rest
over the weekend?
Mariana didn't do it
with this weight.
-She's got cramps.
-No, when they complain,
it's serious.
You talk the most when training.
-Right, Virgílio?
-I talk the most
and I train the most.
The one who talks the least
is Mariana.
I think Mariana takes training
more seriously,
but I think I try harder
and I think
that can be demonstrated.
You have to do rankings
of this training.
You're going to lose, Carolina,
you'd better not.
Who's the best
when it comes to exercise,
who complains the least?
It's Mariana.
I'm the one
who complains the least.
I've got cramps today,
but that's not normal.
Who's got the smallest butt?
You're talking a lot,
you should be here already.
On the other hand,
it's fun, it's competitive.
If one of them does it,
the others want to do it too.
We tease each other a lot.
Mariana!
-I'm going to try again.
-Terrible.
-I did it a moment ago.
-You were going to kill yourself.
You have talent for many things,
but to hang there
-What?
-To hang there
-Get over there.
-I can do it, I'm tall.
My sisters made it more fun,
but they're also very distracting.
But sometimes
it's not very productive
and our trainer, the poor thing,
complains a lot that it's difficult
to train the three of us together.
-Observe.
-The weight on your heels.
-Virgílio, give us your ranking.
-Perfect.
-Observe.
-I did one more set.
Can you comment
on the execution of this exercise?
-Perfect.
-You talk a lot and do little.
Good afternoon, welcome
to the most famous red carpet,
at this 29th edition
of the Golden Globes.
Here we'll see actors,
actresses, directors,
comedians, journalists,
Portugal's most important figures.
Thank you! See you later.
Thanks.
Thank you! See you later.
At Portugal's only well-known gala,
the Golden Globes,
I have to be focused
on the presentation on the carpet,
the texts and the names.
I declare you the winner of
the prize for the best presenter.
There will be presenters,
actors, journalists,
comedians, the figures of the year.
We have international stars,
Laura Pausini,
the most listened to Italian
in the world.
You should say:
"I can't believe
that I finally like the songs."
"I never know who the singers are
and this year Laura Pausini
has come."
The solitude
Laura Pausini in Portugal,
will sing in Portuguese.
I remember when you went to the
Oscars
and memorized how many meters
of cables there were
'cause you were afraid
there would be problems
with the live broadcast.
You were like: "We have here I don't
know how many meters of cables."
"It takes 400 people"
I don't know how many glasses,
champagne glasses
It was really fun.
when you talked about that.
I didn't always dream
about being a TV presenter.
I think that, when I was six
or seven, I started to imagine,
it wasn't even dreaming,
being on stages.
-Good morning!
-Good morning, artists!
I never saw myself as a presenter.
I went to auditions
to be an actress.
I really liked to dance.
In my head, what made
the most sense was being a dancer.
With this whole mess,
I still have to do
all these buttons.
-God help me.
-Yeah.
-There are only about 50.
-You can do it, man.
Good evening,
welcome to the red carpet.
This cape is so heavy
that I'm going to walk like
my right shoulder drooping.
I'm afraid of them stepping
on your cape. Only ten to go.
Or are you just feeling
the weight of responsibility?
I can feel it,
on the main stage there are
more minutes of television, more
And you're the host
of the broadcast.
-Yeah.
-That's it, done.
Look at the difference.
It looks beautiful on you.
I'm going to walk backwards
so that people can appreciate
your work.
There are no holidays on television.
I often work on weekends.
And I'm always away
when I could be with family.
So, I owe a lot to my husband,
because he gives me
a lot of strength.
He calls me when I'm away
and, instead of telling me
that the children miss me or
He tells me to take advantage
of it, to enjoy it.
That helps me not feel guilty.
-Can you zip it up?
-Yes.
We have to do it with love.
I change my panties,
and the dress.
A Pretty Woman moment.
-And I ready?
-Let's go, let's get out of here.
-Let's get out of here
If I could have a superpower
it would be cloning myself,
because my job
depends a lot on my presence
and if I were in several places
at once,
I would make more money
and it would be faster.
Wait, I have to shoot a video
for a great friend of mine,
Rita Patrocínio, who has been
criticizing my looks.
Rita, look at this.
I'm going to send her a message.
And the hamburger I was promised?
I can't find it.
Where's the hamburger?
French fries?
-They're not good.
-No problem.
I love a good hamburger.
Hello.
-How are you, sweetheart?
-Hi.
Aren't you going to be cold
in that?
I'm warm enough.
I've always had motorcycles.
When I got separated,
I needed to get a new motorbike
to really start over.
So I bought a yellow motorcycle.
Beautiful, I love my bike.
Inês, especially as an adolescent,
between her feisty personality,
and her different interests,
was a bit critical of her sisters
who wore makeup,
went out with their boyfriends
and for how they dressed
And Inês clashed a bit
with her older sisters.
Here we are.
-Hi! Hi.
-Hi.
-Bernardo, my friend.
-Hi, Inês.
My daughter Inês.
Long time no see!
Thanks.
My daughter Inês,
who, as I told you,
loves history books,
will go crazy here
I didn't know about this place.
He told me you like World War II.
Just these books here are
Look, Dad, the family album
of Nicolás and Alejandra.
I can tell you the story
It's not going to fit
inside the helmet.
You can take it,
I'll give it to you.
-You're joking.
-That's true.
-Seriously?
-She doesn't know me.
Thank you.
She doesn't know me.
Spectacular.
I felt like a little girl
in a candy shop.
I loved meeting the antique dealer.
It was spectacular.
This is my sanctuary,
where I work at night.
Lucky you.
Check out the chaos
of a bookseller's life.
That's why I sometimes work
until 4 or 5 in the morning.
In this beautiful room.
I wish I could travel back in time
and meet Churchill.
He was a man
who changed the course of history.
He was a man
with a very sharp sense of humor,
sensitive, and very cultured.
I could be here for hours
talking about him,
but I wish I could travel back
in time not just for Churchill.
It's curious that Pedro told me
that you really liked Churchill,
because he's the historical figure
I like the most.
No. My father didn't tell me that.
-Yeah.
-I'm a big fan of his.
And I've had things signed by him
here.
I have a bust of him at home.
In my room, as a teenager,
I had a poster of Churchill
on my door.
I never tired of reading about him.
I finish a book, a movie
or a documentary about him
and I want to know more.
I think that's where my fascination
comes from.
At first, her sisters maybe
teased her about being
the intellectual in the family,
who read History.
I remember being on vacation
in Ibiza when I was younger
and I was reading It wasn't
about Churchill, it was a novel.
And they told me that I was pale
and that I had to get some sun.
And that I was in Ibiza,
but I was the color of this paper.
I think they even tried
to be nice, like:
"Do this, it'll do you good,
then you'll come back."
But I felt a little misunderstood.
It's also part
of my dramatic personality.
I was angry with Inês
about several little things
that had come up recently.
And when my sisters and I fight,
we spend a few days
not talking to each other.
There was tension
with my sister Inês.
She had said, behind our backs
I don't know
if she called us stupid,
or something like that.
And then it depends
how each one sees the situation.
-Inês, you don't want to talk?
-No, I don't.
I wouldn't take a cream cakes class
under other circumstances.
But, once I'm there,
I take advantage of it.
-Good evening.
-Is this my place?
We were angry,
but we had to do it.
And I don't like to look weak.
I don't like to not show up.
And I went.
-Welcome to the workshop.
-Thank you.
The dough is very simple,
it only has flour, water and salt.
You can put two pinches of salt
in each of your bowls.
-A "pinch" is very subjective.
-As you prefer.
Mix it with your hands.
We're going to get our hands dirty
with flour.
-OK. In terms of your nails
-You just have to mix.
Half of the dough stays
on your nails,
but don't worry about it.
You thought you were going
to make cream cakes,
but we're getting a bit
out of our comfort zones.
When we got angry with each other,
I stopped talking to Inês.
I didn't look her in the face
and I didn't talk to her.
-Mix a little more
-I now have the
-Is that to make a ball?
-Yeah.
Look, like this.
That's it. Now what?
Great, now we can put it
on the countertop
-That's how the baker does it.
-Exactly.
Like, between sisters
there's always a lot of love, right?
With the roller, we're going
to remove the excess love a bit.
And think of the sister who least
I felt so bad, so sad
because I felt like they were
ignoring me
when I was making a huge effort
to be there.
I see you don't hate your sisters.
-No.
-You love them very much.
-You're being very calm.
-She's fake.
If she'd had a knife,
she would've done this.
It's a test to see who
is dangerous and likes to live
On the edge.
I wondered
if I should've been there.
Maybe there were moments
when I thought about going home.
Pistachios mixed with normal things?
-Just pistachios.
-She's never tried them.
I was there trying not to cry
and then
The result was what it was.
-Look.
-Mine is perfect.
Very pretty.
Passed, with flying colors.
-Very pretty.
-Do you want to hire us?
We all pretended that everything
was fine, but that's not healthy.
Speaking for myself,
I do that a lot.
I would've cleared the air
right there.
I think it's going to explode.
PEDRO'S HOUSE
-I think I
-Family therapy today?
-Today, during lunch?
-You're the therapists.
We're very used to
managing crises.
Mariana is usually good
at advising us
on how to manage daughter crises.
-They're insufferable.
-They're insufferable.
I'm Mariana, Pedro's wife,
stepmother to Mariana,
Carolina, Inês and Rita.
I've been in this family
for 12 years
and it's been a lot of fun.
When the four of them are together,
it's very hard to get in there.
They have their own language.
Although I'm able to interpret them,
I don't contribute much if I try
because it's your dynamic.
It's curious,
our husbands say the same thing.
Yes, we
Look, the husbands and I
also form a clan.
We don't have a chat yet,
but maybe I'll create one
so we can do therapy together.
-Mariana is ready to attack.
-Yeah?
-I'll stop her
-But I think it's good.
-Oh, really?
-I'm not against it.
I know Inês said something
annoying and inappropriate.
Annoying? Annoying is one thing,
but she called me stupid,
she said we were useless,
and that we're envious.
It's not something annoying,
it was just uncomfortable.
They're gratuitous insults.
I don't think
there's any other option.
You have to apologize,
you have to face the situation
and talk to people.
And that's not what has happened.
Hi!
What does it say here?
The happiest in the world?
Five people, maximum.
I hope you are the happiest.
-Who gave us this?
-Maria Roquette.
Carol, put more there, alright?
I have
-Maybe, sit at the head.
-Sit there in the middle.
-It doesn't matter.
-Dad, come on.
The ones having the hardest time
or those who show it the most
when they're angry
are Mariana and Inês.
Ever since they were little,
for some reason,
or because
of their similar personalities,
they got angry and fought a lot.
The bottle?
-Who wants soup?
-I don't, thanks.
No, thanks.
Everyone wants some, except
I realized
that there had been a fight,
but my way of reacting
is to do nothing
and wait for the storm to pass.
-You don't want any soup, Inês?
-No, thanks.
It's creamy, it's good.
The tension in the air was palpable.
I knew there was going to be
an elephant in the room.
There were many things to say
that I didn't want to say or hear.
-Can you eat cakes here?
-Cream cakes?
Cream cakes?
The ones we made?
-Yeah.
-I ate a bunch yesterday.
I knew there had been a fight
between them.
I wasn't sure if it was just
between Mariana and Inês
or if it was between Inês
and all the sisters.
One of the conclusions
I came to in adulthood
was that Dad is right 99%
of the time, but not always.
And I grew up thinking
that he was always right.
I still think that.
That's because
I make few mistakes.
-And, do you apologize?
-Do I apologize?
It's not my strong suit,
but I do.
-Look, Inês, do you apologize?
-I do.
I didn't come to air dirty laundry.
But I often apologize.
Think about whether you should
apologize to me.
-You too.
-I already did.
I'm not gonna talk about this here.
This isn't Big Brother .
If you want
-Alright
-That hurt me.
It happened on my birthday.
You don't think
you should apologize to me?
No, I didn't do anything wrong.
Not even on your birthday.
Inês is very stubborn.
And she always has been.
She attacked us
in a completely exaggerated way.
She said we were envious, stupid
and that we had shitty jobs.
It's not that I like to argue,
but I can do it.
But it's on the ground
that I choose, when I choose.
A person who hurts another,
even unintentionally,
should apologize.
I don't think she meant it.
Why do you wait until there's
a camera to talk about this?
They knew I don't feel comfortable
in that setting,
with cameras, and I think the fact
that they didn't talk to me
and they're exposing my life
in such a crude way
Dad, can I talk?
They asked you and you answered.
I'm asking Inês and I think
she should apologize to me.
OK.
Inês gave a general answer
She said she doesn't need
to apologize to me.
I said I didn't want to talk here.
Exactly.
You said you didn't do it
with bad intentions.
And that's not true.
I'm not gonna talk about this
here.
Understand?
Do you speak Portuguese? OK.
No, I don't speak Portuguese.
I speak your language,
which is smarter.
What cannot be is
for a person to say
that they want to talk about
something
if the other person doesn't want to.
She may even want to talk
and they start to fight.
But if they don't want to do that,
there's nobody
Then stop filming.
And that got worse in a way
It was getting to a point
that I, as a father,
don't remember seeing
in recent years.
IN UPCOMING EPISODES
The four of us
don't usually do sports.
Or we get very competitive
or we get angry.
-Hi.
-Hi.
Getting over a separation,
of course, was really difficult.
Inês' wedding was something
Well.
I'm sorry.
-A big kiss and a hug.
-Cheers.
Is it the first time
for the two of you?
Yeah.
I've never been to a fortune teller.
I don't like to admit it,
but I think it affected me.
Give that to your sister.
Mi, don't cry.
Gonçalo, help me, please.
This has been the hardest year
since we've been together.
