Red Carpet (2006)

Synopsis of Red Carpet

A father determined to celebrate his son's tenth birthday with a classic Mazzaropi film finds out just how difficult it can be to track down classic comedy in an era where fickle audiences fill multiplexes screening only the latest in big-budget American fare. When Quinzinho (Matheus Nachtergaele) turned ten, his father took him to see a Mazzaropi comedy. Now that Quinzinho's own son is turning ten the loving father wants nothing more than to carry on the tradition, but in the twenty-first century it's hard to find a theater screening Mazzaropi films. His donkey swiped by a con man and his mission growing ever more bleak by the minute, Quinzinho is later arrested when what appeared to be a Mazzaropi screening turns out to be an illegal meeting by politically minded squatters. Later, when Quinzinho does procure a rare Mazzaropi film print, he finds that the only way to convince contemporary theaters to screen it is by chaining himself to the theater in protest. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
