Season 1 • Episode 12
LatestA wave of puppet kidnappings sweeps the country, especially during the pear harvest in Caldas da Rainha. The media, farmers, and the public react with disinterest, prejudice, and ignorance. Rogério tries to keep the peace at home, but marital, school, and furry conflicts make the mission impossible. A vigil is organized at the police station. Everything seems to be going well, until it goes horribly wrong. Paulo is expelled from the force.
A comedy about difference, identity, and empathy. But with stuffing. And plastic eyes. In a country where plush dolls live as second-class citizens, a community fed up with being left on the shelf decides to organize. Between neighborhood cafes, shady laundromats, and bottled activism, FELP (Spectacular Front for Furry Freedom) is born, a movement that fights for rights as basic as political representation and access to clothes dryers with a "Delicates" setting. In this world where the main crime is being made of fur, there are power struggles, furry intrigue, doll trafficking, and conspiracy theories linking the Templars to Manzarra's success. Throughout the episodes, we will follow the journey of this group of dolls who only wanted to be treated with respect, but end up being tried in court.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The series weaponizes Portugal's specific relationship with surrealist satire, channeling decades of anti-fascist clowning into plushie form.
The 'Delicates' dryer setting as a civil rights metaphor works because it's simultaneously ridiculous and genuinely class-coded—laundromats are liminal spaces where economic status gets exposed.
