- Synopsis
- In an upscale Paris neighborhood, Maria and José Ribeiro have lived for nearly 30 years in the cozy
  little concièrge’s apartment on the ground floor of handsome 19th century building.
  This Portuguese emigrated couple is universally liked: Maria is a diligent housekeeper, and José is a skilled handyman. Over the years, they’ve become an indispensable part of the daily lives of those around them. They are so highly appreciated and well integrated, that when they have a chance to fulfill their dream to return to Portugal and live a comfortable life, nobody wants to see the Ribeiros leave. Just how far will their family, their neighbors and their employers go to hold them back? And deep down, do Maria and José really want to quit France and flee their gilded cage?
