Details: French with English Subtitles Maria (Rita Blanco) and José (Joaquim de Almeida) emigrated from Portugal 30 years ago. Ever since, they have lived in the modest ground floor lodgings of a chic apartment building in Paris. They are universally liked around the community: Maria is the building’s concierge, always available. José, a construction site foreman, is equally as indispensable to his boss. When those around them learn that the couple’s dream of returning to Portugal is now a reality, their family, neighbours, friends and employers scramble behind the scenes to find ways to prevent them from leaving. "A rich comedy that you will not forget" – Le Parisien "An uninhibited feel-good comedy" – 20 Minutes In the upscale neighborhoods of Paris, Maria (Rita Blanco) and José Ribeiro (Joaquim de Almeida) have lived for nearly 30 years on the ground floor of a beautiful Haussmann-style building, in their beloved little apartment. This Portuguese immigrant couple is universally loved in the neighborhood: Maria, an excellent concierge, and José, an outstanding construction foreman, have over time become indispensable to the daily lives of everyone around them. They are so appreciated and so well-integrated that, the day they are offered their dream—to return to Portugal under the best conditions—no one wants to let the Ribeiros go, they are so devoted and so discreet. How far will their family, neighbors, and bosses go to keep them? "A golden comedy you won't forget" – Le Parisien "An uninhibited feel-good comedy" – 20 Minutes "A finesse of observation and a power of comedic invention that place it above the average" – Le Monde
