So cute, charming, funny, moving. Unpretentious but also deep, the film shows in a family story how, during military dictatorship, movie theaters vanished in countryside Brazil. It also depicts how cinema is more than what is made, but also how it is received, and that may vary from culture to culture. Culture from Northeastern Brazilian state of Ceará is itself something nicely explored throughout the movie, which has Portuguese subtitles to be more easily understood by Brazilians from other regions. The movie is light but perfect: direction, text, characters, acting, cinematography, set, script, tyere is nothing I could say thay is not positive. Prepare yourself to laugh loudly.
