Jorge, ascensorista e bagageiro de um hotel de Lisboa, vive numa pensão familiar e é constantemente assediado pela filha da dona. Ao mesmo tempo que resiste aos seus avanços, o tímido rapaz alimenta um sonho: ser a incarnação do cantor Tony de Matos. Essa obsessão leva-o a inscrever-se num singular concurso de karaoke subordinado ao tema "Glórias do Nacional Cançonetismo", onde tem a possibilidade de dar vida à figura do seu herói. É no meio destas estranhas personagens que Jorge percebe que, afinal, não está só.
