Movie Connections:

Referenced in A Dona da História (2004)

A comedy of the modern family

The screenplay, based in the theatrical version, is very well-adapted. The idea of family nostalgical moments, associated with the variety of members personalities and perspectives make the movie very interesting and connected with the current society. Gloria Pires shines, as usual.
