Golden era of Portuguese cinema

It's a shame nowadays these kind of movies are not given their real importance. We're talking about comedy, real good ones that cannot be repeated.
António Silva became one of my favorite actors, and I wish his legacy goes on throughout the years.
Everything in this movie is just brilliant, from the acting to the script.
Ribeirinho is extremely funny.
It's basically about a family that receives money from a Brazilian aunt, and keep telling her lies. One day she comes to Portugal to visit them, and they must make her think their rich, and pretend that all their lies are true.
It's a great story and if you have the chance to watch it, you won't be be sorry.
Give it try.
