A pair of mice attempt to board Noah’s Ark: Vini, a charismatic poet with terrible stage fright, and Tito, a talented and charming guitarist. When the rains come, only one male and one female of each species is allowed on Noah’s Ark.

All the while, the animals perform a series of classic songs inspired by world renowned poet, Vinicius de Moraes.

“Party Crashers” chronicles the amusing encounter between Marco Polo (Marcelo Adnet), a Copacabana’s trickster, and Beto (Eduardo Sterblitch), a boy passionate and somewhat pixilated, on the New Year’s Eve in Rio.

José Henrique Fonseca crafts an ambitious and long overdue homage to a central icon in Brazil’s 20th century history. Reminiscent of film noir classics, the biopic tells the glorious and tragic story of the legendary football striker Heleno de Freitas. The sumptuous black and white cinematography reflects the chic life of Rio de Janeiro in the 1940s as it fell under the spell of sports royalty. Heleno was no doubt one of the most popular players of his time for his bravura in the field and magnificent goal-scoring that lead the Botafogo team to the top and himself into a vicious downward spiral.
