Primeira Mudança

About this movie

What they did not tell you about the hidden truth behind the incredible story of the only young couple who managed the great feat of buying a house in Portugal: Full Version. Behind the glossy headlines and the feel-good stories that flood your social media feed, there lies a far more complex - and frankly unbelievable - tale of the one young couple who defied all odds to achieve the modern-day miracle of homeownership in Portugal. We are not talking about winning the lottery (although that would have been easier), nor are we referring to having a generous inheritance or a conveniently located gold mine under the family farm. No - this couple, hailed as local legends, managed the impossible: they bought a house in a country where the average salary barely covers rent, interest rates dance to the rhythm of chaos, and landlords ask for three organs and a character reference from God himself. What they do not show you is the ten years of living with three roommates, the weekends sacrificed to side hustles, the endless Excel spreadsheets comparing mortgage simulations, or the Kafkaesque journey through Portuguese bureaucracy. They do not mention the 37 rejections from banks, the tears over EUR9 toasties, or the "funny" way real estate agents kept showing them houses with toilets in the kitchen. What they do show you is the filtered Instagram post with a smiling caption: "Dreams do come true!" - as if all it took was a vision board and positive thinking. But the real truth? It is a story of survival, strategy, and a touch of insanity in a housing market that seems designed to keep young people exactly where they started: dreaming.
