It is an adaptation of the famous juvenile books by Ana Maria Magalhães and Isabel Alçada.
This adventure is the sixth most watched film in Portugal, with about 125 000 spectators who surrendered to the adventures of a group of friends who find themselves involve in great mysteries and deeds that always turn out all right. This film is no exception. There was a great deal of care in the adaptation and the result is in sight. It is a feature film of great quality. I will first focuses on the special effects, which I think are excellent, giving the film a higher density and creating more dramatic suspense. Has a luxurious cast. With the very professional Carriço Ricardo, Ana Padrão, Sofia Grilo, Joao Didelet and Sandra Barata Belo, large-caliber actors of the national artistic scene, they acted as support for a group of younger artists, but not less experienced. The young cast came from the juvenile television version, which helped further to consolidate this movie. The direction of Carlos Coelho da Silva confirmed his talent as a filmmaker. Scriptwriters are to be congratulated, because the text did not fell short and the original language is adequate without seeming false and the action was well done. On the whole this movie was a great entertainment moment and proved that there is a younger audience that craves for this kind of productions.
