Is it for you?

Who'll love it
If you count yourself among anyone looking to switch off and smile, this one's for you. Easy company after a long day.
The mood
Light and funny.
The pace
Light on its feet, at 1 hr 35 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Portuguese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1954: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

Candinho is a hillbilly who leaves the countryside, taking his donkey along, and goes to São Paulo, trying to find his mother.
