Macário spends an entire train journey to the Algarve talking to a woman he doesn’t know about the trials and tribulations of his love life: straight after starting his first job as an accountant at his Uncle Francisco’s warehouse in Lisbon, he falls madly in love with a young blonde, who lives across the road. The two soon get to know each other and, before long, a wedding is on the cards. His uncle forbids the marriage, fires him and kicks him out of the house. Macário departs for Cape Verde where he makes his fortune. When he finally wins his uncle’s approval to marry his beloved, he discovers the “singularity” of his fiancée’s character.
