Summary

Description
English: San Francisco Bay Area, early 1900's, Manuel de Sousa and his family have arrived after a journey that has taken them from the San Miguel Islands of Portugal, then to the Hawaiian Islands and finally the San Francisco Bay Area. Manuel and the Sousa Family make a big impact on Portuguese Saint’s Days by creating fireworks for the Portuguese community celebrations. Crowds are thrilled at the Festa do Espirito Santo or the "Holy Ghosts Festival." Soon Manuel becomes well known as "Papagayo" (meaning "Parrot") for his colorful showmanship. The whole family is involved in making the fireworks at their home and shooting the shows with Manuel.
