A breezy, bittersweet Rio comedy of illusions and small humiliations, watched with a light smile and a touch of sympathy.

He meets Lucia, with whom he falls in love, to the point of selling his own car to pay the girl's bill, who says she is very rich and lives in a mansion, but it's all a farce.
How it feels: Light, satirical, melancholic and romantic. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Love, class, deception, ambition
