Synopsis

In ‘Insônia’, Fernando Mendes will be solo and will play the role of Custódio Reis, a wine and liquor seller who lives with a rope around his neck. Both financially and family-wise. It’s the common middle-class Portuguese, who lives drowning in debt and credit.

Custodio is on the verge of divorce. The woman, Sonia, has finally run out of patience with a husband who is increasingly becoming a failure and a guy with no direction or major goals in life other than eating, drinking and sleeping.

He is an absent husband and an even more absent father. Not so much for lack of love, but more for lack of energy… Custodio feels tired, heavy and impatient. The only exercise he does is financial and the little patience he still has is for work. At the age of seventeen, he began working as a baker. Nowadays, wine is sold, but it is almost as much about the one who drinks it as the one who sells it. He even likes what he does and thinks he knows about wines when he isn’t.

He is, in truth, a guy without much intellectual depth and great philosophical theses. In turn, he is resourceful and has the gift of a salesman—the typical Portuguese café guy who talks about everything without saying almost anything.

One night, Custodio, who was always too lazy to think much about his life, stops to think and, instead of spending the night snoring, as is his habit, he cannot sleep. He has terrible insomnia. An insomnia where you will question everything in your life and try to find solutions. But, even though most of his problems have obvious solutions, for a man who has been like this his whole life, change doesn’t seem easy.

We then witness a hilarious inner crisis that, in real time, Custódio will go through, in an attempt to achieve the peace of mind necessary for him to be able to sleep again.

Amid this ‘Insomnia’ we watch some television programs that Custódio watches to “see if he can get sleep”, where Fernando Mendes stars in very unlikely moments with some of his lifelong friends and colleagues.
‘Insomnia’, is a show that jokes about serious things.
