Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone looking to switch off and smile and anyone with a bit of wanderlust. Works for the whole couch, from little ones up.
The mood
Light and funny, feel-good.
The pace
Lively and easy to follow, at 1 hr 28 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's in Portuguese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Probably not for a grown-ups-only night in.

The friends Curió, Boroca (Dedé Santana), Mexelete and Bateia they venture in search of gold in the mine of Serra Pelada. The area is controlled by the foreigner Von Bermann, whose orders are executed by the bully Bira. Thirsty of being able to, the foreigner smuggles the gold and he wants to take possession of the lands of the Brazilian Ribamar, that refuses to do business before the son's arrival Chicão. With the help of the four dabblers, the boy struggles with the thieves and it helps the father in danger.
