Two elderly people in love secretly decide to take refuge in a home to escape the pressure of their own children, contrary to courtship. At home they are surprised by the pandemic and end up separated. How can love survive?
Maria Teresa (67 years old) and Eduardo (71 years old) are an elderly couple. In order to live their love, without the pressure of their children, they flee to a senior residence. They contaminate the home environment with their energy, but with the arrival of the pandemic, they are forced to isolate themselves. In the time they are apart, they come to different conclusions. Maria Teresa finds the self-love she never had and realizes that she doesn't need Eduardo to be happy. Eduardo, on the other hand, longs to live the rest of his time madly beside her.
Lovers is a dream that we want to make real!
To become a series that can reach all Portuguese, we have to make a good pilot episode, which surprises the most influential program directors in Portugal.

Budget and due dates
Budget and Schedule
Shoots for the pilot episode are scheduled for days between 14th to 18th of May. The amount raised in this campaign will be directed to the cost of food, transportation, costumes, decoration and rights to musical works. The episode is partially funded by the faculty, but we are talking about a team with more than fifty members, so it is inevitable that the costs are very high.
We know that we all live in a very complicated phase, but any help is welcome. If you are unable to contribute monetarily, help us by sharing the campaign on social media so that friends, family and acquaintances can see it too.
