Saint Anthony - Lisbon’s Love

The world is changing. Lisbon is changing too. And its traditions are not immune to transformation. The Saint Anthony Weddings are facing an unprecedented crisis, threatening to disappear amid a city that is no longer what it once was. For twenty-five years, Carmo and Valentim, two employees of Lisbon City Hall, have been running the Weddings their own way. But audiences are dwindling, public interest has faded, and the event has reached a point of no return. Enter Stardust, a powerful French group preparing to take over the event, replace Carmo and Valentim, and transform the Weddings into a modern, profitable brand with international appeal. With everything stacked against them, Carmo and Valentim decide to fight for their jobs — and for a tradition that has become inseparable from their own lives. To survive, they must reinvent the Weddings and stage their most ambitious edition ever: modern, gourmet, and featuring six iconic couples chosen to bring the celebration back to life. But as preparations unfold, the Weddings also become the backdrop for the stories, encounters, and misadventures of a colourful cast of characters who embody a vibrant, contradictory, and deeply human Lisbon. Through unlikely romances, friendships, conflicts and second chances, each of them is searching, in their own way, for a place in a city undergoing profound change. Saint Anthony - Lisbon’s Love is a bright, heartfelt romantic comedy, at times tender and at times sharp, where humour meets a reflection on identity, tradition and the transformation of a city and the people who call it home. Because some things may have to change in order to survive — but Lisbon is not for sale.
