Synopsis:

Two weeks before her wedding, Maria Joao (Beatriz Batarda) is spoiled, hung over, possibly pregnant, and unwilling to exchange her party girl ways for her impending marriage. So, with the objections of her father (Luis Miguel Cintra) and the encouragement of her idiosyncratic Uncle Nini (Francisco Rabal), she leaves her family's estate, on a mission to return a large boat and trailer to her fiancé, who lives in Spain. With the help of Gabriel (Marcello Urgeghe), her father's godson, she drives a large rig across the Iberian plains, visiting her estranged brother Ze Maria (Ricardo Aibeo) in Cordoba along the way and dallying in sexual hijinks to boot.

Drama. A spoiled and headstrong young girl, Maria Joao, is due to be married in a fortnight but decides against the idea, despite the fact that she may be pregnant. Instead, she decides to leave home encouraged by the black sheep of the family, Uncle Nini, and heads for the home of her fiance in Spain with the intention of returning a large boat to him, accompanied by her father's godson.
