A superb French soap opera that traces the life of a family of landowners over several generations. All the actors are impeccable and brilliant and the realization discrete. The story is often moving and the pageant seems perfect. I saw this soap opera as a child, with my family, and I saw it recently with immense pleasure. The memory that I had was not betrayed. The title, which is the name of one of the main characters in the first part of the series, does not reflect the idea that the whole story is a family saga.

Without telling the story of the first movie of the film director Ruben Alves, "La cage dorée" is a comedy that deals with relations between immigrants and French; employers and employees, parents and children; neighbors; lovers and close family in a small community in central Paris. The film is a feel good comedy and touches the heart by the beautiful, funny and smart dialogues, the perfect interpretation of French and Portuguese actors, first and second roles, and a discrete and sensitive mise en scene. It is not necessary to be French or Portuguese to be moved by the issues and personal choices of the main characters, just have some feelings.
