Luiza (Clarice Niskier) is a comedian, presenting shows in a bar. Her sister is Telma (Priscilla Rozembaum), married and in love with Pedro (Ricardo Kosovski), a high-level employee from the municipal government and best friend of Vieira (Domingos Oliveira). Vieira is an intellectual, fan of Dostoevski and working in the biggest Brazilian television company. He lived with a French woman for three years and raised their daughter Cíntia alone, with the support of Telma. Cíntia (Maria Mariana) is a reckless and impulsive twenty-two years old journalist, just ending the relationship with a nineteen years old rookie actor. The story begins with the new love of Luiza, Rafael (Vincent Barcellos), a bisexual painter, being presented to Telma and Pedro; the problem of relationship between Vieira and Cíntia; and a crush of Cíntia in Pedro. Themes related to relationship, love, marriage, birth, deception, frustration, betrayal, forgiveness, sexuality, homosexuality, AIDS, all these subjects are discussed in different perspective, sometimes funny, other sad, in this lovely movie. The actors and actresses give an outstanding performance. A mandatory high-level entertainment that proves again that a low-budget movie can be excellent, depending on the screenplay, direction and cast. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): `Amores' (`Loves')
