Leonora Carvalho

Mrs. Hope

Mrs. Hope is a charismatic octogenarian widow, living alone in a pleasant apartment in Lisbon along with her cat Baltazar, since her husband died, years ago. Mrs. Hope is not like some other older people. She likes ballroom dancing, aqua aerobics sports and from time to time visiting the neighborhood chapel to say goodbye to her old fellows who passed away letting escape some less orthodox comments that make laugh even the most serious. She had two sons, but only one is alive - Artur. He is married with Leonor and together they have a son Rodrigo, a wild teenager and the only Mrs. Hope grandson. Herminia is her best friend, but her truly fellow is Paulina, a bold Angolan woman, mother of the teenager Joyce that Mrs. Hope considers as her goddaughter.
