Dated nonsense, clearly inspired in Saturday night fever, with a chaotic script merging several shallow and sometimes silly side stories (to be fair, the one about the teenagers who want to enter the nightclub is a cute one, and the waiter's story is also nice). I do not understand its good ratings and reviews. There are many actors in the film, with a hererogeneous casting, including both good well-known actors and mediocre ones. At least there are some good dancing scenes and a glimpse of late 70's popular disco music in Rio de Janeiro (including many nice songs).

Portuguese-language cinema, spanning Portugal, Brazil, and other Lusophone regions, focuses on history, cultural identity, and the struggles of ordinary people, often framed with poetic or allegorical storytelling. In Portugal, cinema has emphasized meditative pacing and philosophical depth, reflecting on memory and tradition. In Brazil, it has often been politically charged and socially vibrant, highlighting inequality and resilience while experimenting with popular and avant-garde forms.
