The start of Luís Rovisco’s old age isn’t exactly cheerful. Already in his sixties, he’s still roaming the country by himself, carrying out his tasks — increasingly less real — as sales director for the company SegurVale. Sadness, resignation? Not with the songs Luís makes up behind the wheel, and that take over this film from start to finish.

Plot

Luís Rovisco is a divorced man about to retire from a security systems company. He lives alone with his cat. Although it may seem difficult to make a film with such material, João Nicolau creates nothing less than a musical on wheels, sung by a non-professional actor and mature debutante. Between absurd situations and a dislocated and impassive humor, the last chance of love passes in front of Luís's eyes while modern security boxes and safety gates turn back on him, in a film in which there is room even to evoke the Spanish band Las Ketchup.
