“Um Senhor Intern” accompanies Jules Ostin, a creator of a successful clothing sales website that, despite being only 18 months old, already has more than two hundred employees. She leads a very busy life, due to the demands of her position and the fact that she enjoys keeping in touch with the public. When her company starts a project to hire seniors as interns, in an attempt to get them back to work, it's up to her to work with widower Ben Whittaker.
