This movie is really precious, if you are a fan of madredeus music, or films like Amelie, Cinema Paradiso, Faraway So Close! or any other intelligent movie, I am sure that you will appreciate this movie for what it is, a critic on cynicism, the loss of European (and individual) identity, the loss of ideals and friendship and foremost for being a very poetic love story.
The band (Madredeus) plays haunting, moving music, it may move you to tears, please, do yourself a favor and translate the lyrics of the soundtrack "Ainda" and you will find why this movie is so special.
Teresa Salgueiro is the true centerpiece of this incredible movie, her beauty is not of the "Hollywood" type, she is as gorgeous as Amelie Poulan (Audrey Tautau) and equally tender.
****SPOILER**** do not miss the Hilarius scenes with the mosquito and the beautiful views of the city, with this movie, you will find the true meaning of Saudade ;)
