1983  
 
This boisterous Brazilian comedy is set in Dona Esperanzas lively bar and revolves around the tempestuous love between a bitchy soap opera diva and her husband, a writer for her show and an author of pulp romances. The trouble begins because the actress has become too involved with her role and this is not helped by the show's fans who constantly assault her. The other patrons of the bar lead equally soapy lives. When they all hear that the bar is about to be replaced by a shopping mall, they are devastated. Things really get nutty when a troupe of circus performers suddenly shows up. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Director Neville D'Almeida started out with a screenplay meant to expose the underside of the social elite in Rio de Janeiro but the film itself overdoses on drugs, sex, and corruption. When shown at the Gramado Film Festival in 1983 the picture was dismissed by critics as yet another hyped porno film. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
