Dona Irene, the Concierge
2 min
Ask for this one as news in pictures.

Augusto's forgetfulness leads to an encounter with Dona Irene, the porteira. They go on to discuss some problems in the apartment building.

Note: A porteira is similar to a concierge / janitor / caretaker for an entire building, but nowadays this is a dying profession. The role was often filled by older Portuguese women.
