Set in the early 1970s, Pôr do Sol no Areeiro has an excellent storyline, perfectly capturing the mindset of the bourgeoisie of the Avenidas who trade cars, feelings, and people with the ease of an amorality that was typical of Lisbon society at that time.

Crime at the Little Star Pension poster
9.0

Neves and his wife Celia are the owners and managers of the 'Little Star Pension', a familiar hotel that caters to bourgeois family and would-be actors, instead of the ill-reputed 'Good-Night Pension' (just across the narrow street), where gigolos, whores, and criminals of all sorts may go for a quick encounter. However, not all is well among the ten residents of 'Little Star Pension': each dialogue line from every hotel guest is evidence that he, or her, has a reason (actually, more than one) to hate Neves - to the point of wishing him dead. Carelessness (or devious intention) by one party will provide the means; another, will create the propitious moment; yet another, and then the rest of them will create the festive New Year's Eve occasion - to do with Neves forever! Obviously, only the famous world private-eye Hércules Pirôt can solve the crime... for which he is called by phone, even before the deed is done.

No Vacancies poster
NR

James has a good job, a good home, a good wife, but it isn't enough. Ali is single, single-minded, singularly focused on James. They meet in the same room, in the same hotel. Mariella watches them - unknown, unseen, unheard. She's the hotel cleaner who deals with the debris, the aftermath of their passion. She dreams of a similar life. This has been the pattern for some time, but Ali wants more. James can't give it. He wants to keep it as it is. It starts to play with Ali's head. She schemes and dreams and fantasises. Things start to unravel, but Mariella is used to cleaning up mess. She is thorough; methodical, meticulous.
