Sinopse

Written in one of the walls of the exhibition he found the five don’ts of the Estado Novo in capital letters: “We DON’T discuss country, we DON’T discuss authority, we DON’T discuss family, we DON’T discuss work, and we DON’T discuss God”. Suddenly, he came up with the idea of staging “Don Juan”. This Don Juan doesn’t trust the ghost of the Commander. The ghost wants him to shake his hand. Don Juan senses it’s a bad idea to shake the hand of a ghost he himself killed. So he decides not to attend the supper upon which they agreed. Don Juan runs away, but where to? This is a comedy.
