It Is What It Is

É o que é

Synopsis

Romanos bar is the only café in the town of Aboadela: a small place in a valley in the North of Portugal. Here a group of young men spend most of their time - playing cards and talking shit. Some seem to search for a way out of the town, while others have accepted that it is what it is.
