His next door neighbor Vitoria, who is married with a rude detective, dreams on the romanticism of Pedro and listens to him through the wall between her kitchen and his living room.

User Reviews

Funny, but very predictable

The director Cláudio Torres, writer and director from Redentor(2004), joins to the Globo Filmes Studio and, unfortunately, brings to the cine screens, just another romantic comedy. But, with Selton Melo and Luana Piovanni, this takes a different way. Clever and fast, the movie is very hot. Piovanni shows her very gorgeous curves, with lingeries and dresses a little bit short. If your girlfriend don't slap you in the face, you will be lucky.

Of course, with Globo Filmes in the credits, you know how is it going to end. Like Claudio Torres said "I wanna do a movie that people will see, like and laugh. Not for the festivals, but for the people." That's enough for me.
