A Pleasure, Comrades!
In 1975, Eduarda and José Rabaça came from Germany to Azambuja, Portugal. They registered intimate stories on sexuality and relationships with foreigners. Re-enacting these stories, the film will delve into the secrets of a rural country, grappling with the ghosts of its sexual liberation.
