    Beautiful film. And Laura Morante is beautiful in it.
    It is great to see the man putting on macho airs, sentimental glances and helplessly clumsy courtship phrases, failing to seduce the quietly ironic, elusively graceful breeze of a woman which is morante. and the pleasure of seeing monteiro playing the german-speaking badass, crouching on a chair, just as invisible as a cactus on a parsley plantation and wreaking havoc on books, is uncomparable! >_<
