A dream girl can cause a lot of insomnia. That's what happens to Daniel Bricks, a young british engineer, working temporarily at the construction works of the 25th of April bridge, in Lisbon, Portugal. At the request of a friend, Daniel heads down south to make an inspection on a water dam. That's where he finds Carolina, the woman of his dreams. What he doesn't know is that she just got out of jail a few hours back, and that she will turn his life into a real nightmare. A romance comedy, where the nightmares are sweeter than dreams.

Alberto正打算进行最后的惊险大逃亡，不过在他能赶上飞机前，他将会忍受生命中令人不寒而栗的日子。一个关于谋杀、神秘、爱情和汽车行礼箱的故事。 尽管这部影片的预算极端的低(大概就150美元)，不过称得上2004年葡萄牙最成功的电影。虽在美国的圣诞期间上映对抗好莱坞《国家宝藏》、《极地快车》、《超人特攻队》、《亚历山大》等高成本影片，但这部集神秘、谋杀、幽默于一身的影片很快就抓住了观众的眼球，表现的出乎意料的好，超过了过去两年内所有其它葡萄牙电影。
