Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for fans of a well-timed joke. Good for nights when you want to switch off and laugh.
The mood
Light and funny.
The pace
Breezy, at 1 hr 20 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • It's in Portuguese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1952: an older pace and style.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

Isidoro Colepicula is a humble truck driver hired to transport some furniture from São Paulo to Santos, in his worn out truck he calls "Anastácio". Hiding among the pieces travels a bride who's trying to escape her own marriage. With his dog Coroné, he gets himself into many amusing situations, especially when the packed vehicle is left without brakes on a steep road, and he has to chase after it.
