The year is 1968 and Joaquim and Amalia Quinteiro are just your average young new immigrant couple, drawing blood over money matters and overdosing on culture shock. Into their nest of perfect domestic bliss flies the ever popular, handsome young university student border, Joao. Amalia gets a job and Joaquim’s already flagging machismo shoots off the exit ramp. Perhaps only Joao’s devilish derriere can buttress this poor male ego. A love triangle of unusual proportions, “Porcaria” demonstrates a total lack of resistence to new world charms that has the fish jumping off the walls.
