About Um Jantar Muito Original
1907. The Porto Chamber has just been won by the Republicans, in full monarchy, three years away from the revolution. Republican ideas are taking hold and monarchical institutions are beginning to be shaken. However, the Sociedade Gastronómica de Lisboa resists and apparently is one of the strongest bastions of the monarchy. But winds of change blow within the walls of the traditional and conservative Society. A young member, Dr. Duarte Rodrigues, decides to run for president, held by the mysterious Prositt, who made his fortune in Africa. Duarte, stating that he does not want to betray the illustrious president, but as he is somewhat worn out and hopelessly dazzled by the leadership, he is able to artfully convince others to convince him, Duarte, to move forward, serving them for this. , in a dinner of taking power, a dish of unexpected excellence and very original.
Directed by Leandro Ferreira, Um Jantar Muito Original leans on a strong ensemble — Rosa Bela, Beatriz Barosa, Tomás Alves — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about tv movie titles of 2021.
