Country Brazil

A fun but bitter overview of the many different visions that you can have this feeling that occupies hearts and minds.

This is far the best short film I＇ve ever seen. And it came from my country, surprisingly. I don＇t like Brazilian cinema very much, but this film is one of the most intelligent comedies I＇ve ever seen. Everything is top notch... Brazilian humour at its best. Narration is great, and most actors do a very good job, including my countryman Guilherme Karan, and actor whose work I generally dislike.

Im surprised this director remains an unknown... he did an excellent job! The circus scene(the clown who found out that his wife was having an affair with the high wire guy) is one of my favourites of the 90s. I also like the vagina-queue scene.
