8/10
Landmark Brazilian working-class family drama
17 July 2000
A film worth seeing, for many reasons. It is an excellent working class drama, showing a side of Brazil not always shown. And it features outstanding performers by now veteran actresses Marieta Severo (CARLOTA JOAQUINA, PRINCESS OF BRAZIL), and the Cannes Best Actress-Award winning Fernanda Torres, daughter of the now famous Montenegro (CENTRAL STATION). The soundtrack boasts some of Brazil's best pop music of the 80's also. A good choice.
