What might put you off
  • It's in Portuguese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

Small-town trickster Pedro Malasartes has to face two great enemies: Próspero, who will do anything to impede such a lazy, cowardly person like Malasartes from dating his sister, Áurea; and Death incarnated, who wants to take a vacation after two thousand years collecting lives and intends on tricking Malasartes into assuming his tedious job.
