Three men try to be "masculine" again. A clerck, a Saints Salesman and a "house-husband" pack up and decide to travel... to a bar. This is a movie without words, where the communication happens through the eyes and of some violence too.

José Bação Leal has born in Lisbon, capital of Portugal, in 1942, and died in Mozambique, during the colonial war, with 23 years old. A promising writer and thinker, he became a symbol of a youth that could not rise, victim of a country that put in cause its own future in a meaningless war. All the people who were close to him were touch by his fascinating personality and his vanguardist free spirit.

There are hundreds of sex workers to whom the protection of the law at a labour and civilian level is not recognised. For that reason, in a similar way to what happens in many countries, they demand the end of the discrimination, the change of the law and the social power that has been denied to them. This film is a journey into the underworld of sex workers and their struggle for labour rights.

In a French nightclub, choreographed song and dance routines are performed, rather than a streamlined narrative. They tell the story of Parisian culture and politics from the 1920s—1980s. A disparate, anachronistic series of characters, including an ordinary waiter, a Nazi collaborator, resistance fighters, and 1960s student protestors gather to celebrate and satirize 20th century France's icons, demons, and social changes.
