Plot
Anastácio's family, from Lisbon, had casually met on vacation the Barata family from Porto, in the spa town of Caldas da Rainha, and one of Anastácio's daughters, who had a crush upon the handsome son of Mr. Barata, lied about her family’s wealth prompting her vacationing family to stand with the lie.[6] Later, a decisive Sporting Clube de Portugal's (the Lions or Leões in Portuguese because of the rampant lion in the sports club crest) away match with Futebol Clube do Porto is about to take place in the city of Porto. When he fails to get a train ticket to travel to Porto in an attempt to watch in loco the football game of his favourite football team from the sidelines, Anastácio, a supporter of Sporting Clube de Portugal employed in a Lisbon office, pretends to be a wealthy individual in order to be able to go to the city of Porto with his family, where they will be hosted by the Barata family for a stay in their house.[1]
