SYNOPSIS:

Pedro, an engineer posted in a village in the north of Portugal, waits desperately to be transferred back to Lisbon. He has nothing to do except work on the village website which he created. Pedro then receives a letter from a multinational summoning him to close the website, citing domain name infringement. Failure to do so will result in 500, 000 Euro lawsuit. But the Villagers refuse to close the site. The situation spins out of control when the media gets wind of the story and the villagers’ plight becomes a cause célèbre from New York to Hong Kong. Under the media spotlight, the villagers start to change, and not always for the better.
