It is a feature film produced by Paulo Branco and full of the most talented actresses of the national scene.
It's a movie construed solely and exclusively by women for the rest of the world. It is not a feminine vision of how to govern a country, but almost. Well, maybe they are more efficient and succefull in their sane madness, that successive elected governments of our poor country. Forward. It's a satire, a farce in which a woman, played by the always magnificent Alexandra Lencastre, firmly believes that she is the U.S. president. Yes, who knew! Maybe it's much easier to govern America than a country planted by the sea. It's true. Oil, of course it is always welcome. The rest of the cast, exclusively female help this phony in its intention to conquer China and to organize an event without parallel in the world. I do not highlight the work of any of the actresses, because they're all up to the challenge of John Botelho. It's a fun movie, with little artistic pretensions, or rather, has aspirations, to show the national female acting talent. It is this aspect that I intend to highlight in particular. The film "breathes" its actresses, their interpretation of the characters. It has a wonderful scenario and a wardrobe worthy of a world leader, for no Hilary Clinton to disdain. Only a woman would notice this aspect, but maybe the movie was after all thought for ladies like me. And let me add, I liked! Good movie!
