poetic carnival

It is pure poetry, but it also reveals the social gaps that are disguised in the Brazilian geography by the little distance between the richest and the poorest. The scenes inside the whale are especially delicate and happen slowly as if they were in a particular world. It also draws much attention the enormous talent of the actor who lives the younger brother, Luan Marques.

Good cast Poor script

Yes, the cast is really good but the script is very poor, low low tension between the characters, low tension with a romance between a rich girl and a poor guy who is kidnapped by the guy. The guy could be a huge tension with his stepfather or with the boyfriend of the girl who he is in love with. There is a huge huge lack of tension and emotion on the film. A waste of a good casting.

Open interpretation

The film is decent; with lots of well-captured cinematography. As for the plot, It is a little vague from the beginning why the character Jonas is so romantically fixated on his childhood best friend, given she is so liberal in her encounters with various unscrupulous men. The film explores obsession, as a mental obstruction, social status inequality, and some other themes difficult to define.
