Os Vivos também choram (2011)

50-year-old Ze is a dockworker in the port of Lisbon. He watches enviously the ships he will never board. He dreams of going away, of leaving his wife and the slum where they live together. For a while now, he has been saving money in secret to travel to Sweden. He knows which ship will take him and the day and time of his departure. But one night he gets home to discover that his wife found his savings and spent them on a brand new washing machine.
