the Network

In the network age, what is (still) real? Dário Rúben, a guy just like the others, explores the network, watches videos from 25 de Abril, learns to pose for selfies and crushes on Tati.

The fake news. Carlos Firmino, a middle-aged domestic and gaslighter, is the administrator of fake news pages. Throughout the episode, he trolls through the various publications he finds through the feed and surfs on this thornier side of the Internet.

Appearances are deceiving. The point that someone is willing to go to be loved in the online world. Tati is a young woman that loves social networks. She has dozens of photos that she edits before posting, in her spare time she is an influencer and loves the attention the gets.

Prejudice, nostalgia, the danger of good intentions, of sadness, to continue, to survive in a world that is no longer ours, to seek love again. A misfit, Armando Purificação, feels the anachronism of his experiences on the Network, from the reactions to his youth photos to the unboxings of his supermarket purchases, and also the discovery of virtual contacts with the mysterious Madame Saigon.

The way that teenagers act in the virtual world, the possible lessons of karma - not always poetic justice - and the cyber risks that affect everyone, even teen trolls. Dioguinho is Armando's grandson. At the age of 15, he surfs the web as he wants, among festival posters, pornography and jokes with friends - even at the expense of his grandfather. However, relaxation on the Internet may come with trouble - and Dioguinho finds himself the target of a malicious blackmail.

Professional and compulsive indignation in the Network. Emojis overcoming the language. A. Santos Sousa is an anthropologist, an academic. In the Network, the intricacies of the communication are a source of bewilderment for him. The politically correct is a minefield. Among so many people who don't understand each other, a series of posts and cryptic riddles with emojis seem to make the most sense.
