Bianca and her mother meet again in Porto after many years. Together, they will hit the road with their stripping show, running after lost time, impossible love and strange fantasies.

‘Manoel’ follows the music group ‘Sensible Soccers’ after the release of their fourth LP, on the tenth year of their existence as a group. This documentary succinctly explores the band's process of composing new soundtracks for two films of the legendary portuguese director Manoel de Oliveira, "Douro Faina Fluvial" (1931) and "O Pintor e a Cidade" (1956). It explores the connection between cinema and music, and how these two art forms can converge and cooperate between themselves.
