The movie shows many aspects of the Brazilian popular culture. Also shows what the humblest layers of the population consider valuable. It is not a "cult" movie that a small intellectual elite will appreciate. This film exalts the values of an enormous social layer, materially poor that unfortunately the elites dislike and despise. The singers are really talented and they deserve to be registered in a beautiful movie as this is. Highly recommended for those that appreciate the contemporary popular culture and want to understand better the Brazilian people that live far from Copacabana. The diversity of the Brazilian society is much more varied and rich that what is shown traditionally to the world, and this movie shows one of the multiple faces of the Brazilian people.
