A delicious comedy with much alcohol

This comedy passes in Rio de Janeiro, mostly in a bar. Ana is a soap opera actress and Hugo Carvana, her husband is a frustrated writer that doesn't like to write to television. The most funny is their two children, Yury (Jonas Torres), that follows Yuri Gagarin and another girl.

I won't tell so much about the story because it will ruin your movie session. I just say that it has a little of society appeal and also some questions about what is art. You can see it in the character played by Anselmo Vasconcelos, Salvador daqui. Oh, and there is a brilliant strip-tease.

I recommend it, principally for the not brazilians, that will have a good vision of the cotidian of Rio de Janeiro.
