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.

commandment.

Some of you...

... may disagree.

But the site can become

a symbol of our faith.

If Jesus were alive,

He'd have His own website.

If Jesus were alive,

He wouldn't want the site.

It will hurt our village.

Where some see problems,

others see God's will.

Didn't Jesus change

water into wine?

But not to sell it.

Nor to drink it Himself.

May God guide us

in His infinite wisdom.

Only He can show us the way.

- Good morning.

- That robe's mine.

- Morning, Fat Victor.

- Morning!

With my vote and my aunt's,

we need four more votes.

If we convince the priest,

he'll convince the others.

- Good luck with Father Felicidade.

- Oh thee of little faith.

I'm seeing Father today.

- I'll go with you.

- 1 1 :
30 at the church. O.K.?

Be nice to my fiance.

It won't work.

Victor thinks it will.

He also thought Concha

would be on the train.

You're not helping us?

Aren't you from Drinam?

Ask your lawyers for help.

Let's go to Chico's for a drink.

Chico's?!

That's the other side of the world!

Even dead

I wouldn't set foot in Osvaldo's.

- Osvaldo voted like us.

- But for the wrong reasons.

He should have stayed in Brazil.

Hop on.

Fernando said I can increase business

if I go online.

All your clients live nearby.

- Why would they shop online?

- What do you know about Internet?

Enough not to sell the site.

Concha seems nice.

She even speaks Portuguese.

I hope she's not too much for Victor.

My Victor's man enough

for any woman.

It's strange... The three of them

sleeping under the same roof...

For 50 years,

I've put up with your gossip.

I've had enough.

Let them enjoy life!

Take this.

And this.

And this and this.

Keep it all!

Everything's overpriced.

Where is it cheaper?

On Internet!

- Fernando thinks this is America.

- We have to help Elena.

I'm not helping Elena!

My decision's final!

"Last night,

a small Portuguese village"

"declared war on a large multinational"

"to save its website."

"Aguas Altas vows

to fight to death and beyond."

This is too much...

I lost the road. Ana left me.

Now I'll spend years

fighting something that's not my fault.

Wait!

Ana left you?

I'm not the only one

with women problems.

How did the paper find out?

"AGUAS ALTAS AT WAR FOR ITS

WEBSITE"

"By our special correspondent,

Fernando Oliveira."

Are you crazy?

I'm just the messenger of progress!

Where do I start?

Go with Elena to see Father,

I'll talk to the forest crew.

Fine.

Thanks, Pedro.

You're a great guy.

- Come in.

- May we, Father?

Come in, Victor.

Hello, Concha.

Marriage is a sacred sacrament.

Two people are joined together

before God for all eternity.

Do you...

Does Victor take...
