Shakespeare-style storytelling meets soccer fan sensibilities in this tale of two Brazilian sweethearts whose families root for rival teams, and the lengths the pair go to in order to keep their love alive. While Romeo and his family are ardent supporters of the Corinthians, Juliet father is the biggest Palmeira fan on the planet. Now, if Romeo can just suppress his urge to root for the Corinthians and convince Juliet's father that he'll be a suitable son-in-law, perhaps these two families will be able to put their bitter rivalry aside long enough to cheer on the committed young couple when their wedding date rolls around. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Brazilian filmmaker Jorge Furtado makes his directorial debut with the romantic comedy Homen Que Copiava (The Man Who Copied). Andre (Lazaro Ramos) is a young man who likes to draw, but the only job he can get is making copies at a bookstore. His co-worker Marinez (Luana Piovani) tells him that she will only sleep with wealthy men, despite the fact that she's dating a poor salesman (Pedro Cardoso). Andre develops a crush on his neighbor Silvia (Leandra Leal), a young woman who works in a clothing store. In order to impress her, he comes up with a counterfeit scam using his only technological resource. Homen Que Copiava was shown at the 2003 San Sebastian Film Festival. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi
