GREAT MOVIE!!, 31 March 2002
10/10
Author: Bruno César Meirinho (bmeirinho@uol.com.br) from Curitiba, Brazil

This movie is wonderful!! One of the best Brazilian movies ever. Simple scenery, good sound and music, good actors, screenplay and directing, everything done with care and without much technology, and the result is a great and comfortable movie.
