Trailer Synopsis Cast

São Paulo, 2007. Santana works as a dogcatcher, picking up stray animals. He is a friendly guy, averse to trouble, who has always kept violence away from the doorsteps of his home. One day, he catches a very big dog in a school. Some days later, comes the animal's owner: Babyface, a sociopath ex-cop. The man is furious, considering his dog to be "kidnapped", and demands immediate restitution of his pet. But the dog is not coming back: according to the law, the animal was put to sleep. In a misunderstanding, Babyface argue with Santana, blaming him for his pet's death. From this moment on, Santana's life will be completely changed.

Brazil

Brazil is perhaps the best of the handful of US films made by Brazilian singing sensation Tito Guizar. In typical screwball-comedy fashion, the plot is set in motion by authoress Nicky Henderson, who has hit the best-seller charts with her latest tome, Why Marry a Latin? While researching her next book in Rio De Janeiro, she finds out "why" when she meets handsome songwriter Miguel Soares. Upon learning about Nicky's book, Miguel decides to teach her a few lessons in the affairs of the heart. Edward Everett Horton is also on hand, twittering his way through the role of a well-meaning buttinsky. Thanks to the "Good Neighbor" policy of the 1940s, South American musicals were a glut on the market, but Brazil was good enough on its own merits to pay its way at the box office.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

This thriller is strangely underrated in Brazil, perhaps due to poor disclosure. It has a competent casting, beautiful shooting, writing, and editing. The dog thing reminds Iñarritu's "Amores Perros" (2000), as well the scene at the football stadium (the mythical Pacaembu stadium, in Sao Paulo), seems to be a reference to Campanella's "The Secret in Their Eyes" (2009), two recent important Latin American films. Lazaro Ramos performs a dreadful villain, the first bad guy in his successful career; Babu Santana is perfect as "Santana", a peaceful dogcatcher that plays the drums quite well, in a church. Santana's children are performed very consistently by Thainá Duarte (as "Isaura") and Vini Carvalho (as "João"). Even the dogs deliver a compelling acting! It is not a complex story, but it is beautifully done, and the film is worth seeing.
