About this event
André is 20 and makes a living performing the unexciting job of a photocopy operator. Every night he returns home to his cartoon drawing and to the habit of checking on his neighbours with his binoculars. André desperately needs R$ 38 (thirty-eight reais) to hopefully impress the girl of his dreams, Silvia, who lives across the street and whom he follows from his window every night. He devises several plans to get hold of the money–and they all work! And that is when his troubles begin. A movie with a lively, very intricate plot, directed by one of Brazil’s most innovative filmmakers.
