Synopsis: Pedro, an engineer posted in a village in the North of Portugal, waits desperately to be transferred back to Lisbon. Ever since his road project was cancelled, he's had nothing to do except work on the village website he created. Just when a transfer seems imminent, Pedro receives a letter from a large multinational. They summon Pedro to close the site, citing domain name infringement. Failure to do so will result in a 500.000 Euro lawsuit. But only the village association can close the site. And the villagers refuse. Their logic: if the site is worth 500.000 Euros in damages, then it's worth 500.000 Euros. The situation spins out of control when the press gets wind of the story and the villagers' plight becomes a cause célèbre from New York to Hong Kong. But as interest rises, so does dissension in the village. Under the media spotlight, the villagers start to change - and not always for the better.

- When the Engineer left, he was upset.

- Another brandy, Osvaldo.

He's in trouble.

Maybe he killed someone...

If he killed someone,

they'd send the police,

not a letter.

I'm telling you! It's an inheritance!

And Luisa will get a raise.

One more, Osvaldo.

He has an illegitimate child.

An illegitimate child?

Pedro?!

I don't believe it.

He never fooled me

with his roaming eyes.

He was always polite to me.

It all fits!

Luisa said Ana

ran out of the house upset.

I don't believe any of it.

That's your weakness, Maria.

You see good everywhere.

- Is that wrong?

- The world isn't like that!

I've decided.

I'll close the site.

You can't.

You opened it in the name of the Village

Association, only they can close it.

- The village doesn't care about the site.

- Good! Call a General Assembly.

When no one comes,

vote alone.

your problems are over.

- Exciting news, isn't it?

- Something I don't know?.

The Engineer Pedro is rich.

Jose heard him on the phone.

He sold the village site

for 500.000 Euros!

The Engineer sold our site?

For 500.000 Euros?

I knew Pedro didn't have

an illegitimate child.

You've reached Ana Alves.

I'm not here. Leave your message.

My love, why don't you call?

I'm in such trouble!

You can't even imagine it.

I really miss you. Kisses.

Relax. Shout naked from the tower,

still no one would come!

If I hadn't come by,

you'd have spent all night here.

So I should thank you?

You forgot your flowers.

I've always lived in Madrid.

As a kid, I was fat.

Really fat.

They called me Fat Victor.

How can I marry a girl

who called me Fat Victor?
