Part 1: Clara's Hair
I brought this song
What is it?
Let me play it, man -You're so curious.
Let's see how good your stereo is.
|'m playing it loud, alright? Go ahead, play it loud.
It will be loud
That sounds good
I like it
What about this brother of mine?
Well, he's good-looking, smart funny, good in bed...
What more could I want?
ok, then!
You two make a great couple
So far so good
We should go
Antonio, let's go!
Oh God, there's Adalberto uptight as always.
How'd it go? It was so cool!
We went down to the beach
Yeah, but listen
You took your time, some people want to leave already
Alright, I'll go get the kids and...
I'll take Seu Zé a little dish -Alright.
Go ahead
Carry on
é?
Some goodies from the party Thank you.
Come by later on, OK? Will do.
Fernando, Fernando, Luiz Fernando and Julia, let's go!
Come sing Happy Birthday come on.
But we're in the middle of the game! You can continue later, let's go.
Aunt Lucia
it's not everyday that someone turns 70.
or if you're the way we think you are:
a 70-year-old girl
I'm twelve
and I remember you taking us, your great-nieces and nephews,
still young, to the Jaqueira amusement park
to have ice cream at the FriSabor and to the Sao Luiz cinema.
You are the best aunt we could ever have
Aunt Lucia was a f-firecracker,
IS a fire-, is a firecracker
She was volleyball and ping-pong champion at the Portuguese Club.
She played guitar, piano, and violin when she was young
and performed many times at the St. Izabel Theater.
She begins her life as a university student at 18
where she got into the law program at the Pernambuco Federal,
in the year 1931
kicking off a victorious career
which made her name synonomous with determination in her field
in our state
at a time when few women would attend higher education
and where few would work in the field of law and letters
No, there's more
After living and studying in Sao Paulo in the 40s,
Aunt Lucia came back to Pernambuco.
She went to workin the countryside, in the 60s,
a difficult time for her, for her family, and for the country
She was persectued and even went to prison,
We are very proud of your journey, Aunt Lucia
Aunt Lucia's life could fill a book a film or a song,
and here we wish you health, happiness and propose a toast to you.
To our dear Aunt Lucia!
Go Aunt Lucia!
You forgot or skipped the sexual revolution
Just kidding, no
I'm very touched. Really. Truly
But now I want to say something that was left out
that you didn't say but I'm going to.
You mentioned a number of things I did,
and which were part of my life.
Augusto was my partner
I really liked him It was true love.
Augusto passed away oh six years now.
He was a very good man
We never got married because
I think some of you know he was already married.
Well, what are you gonna do? Nobody's perfect.
And today, which is my birthday
I'd like to propose a toast to Augusto
Thank you all very much
It's hard to top Aunt Lucia's
sensational words
But I'm going to say something. It's quick, but I'm going to say it
I'm not a religious man,
but I want to say thank you anyway
You all know 1979 was not an easy year here at home.
We went through some really tough times with Clara's illness,
This woman I love so much
I can say they were the toughest months in my life
taking my wife to hospitals
watching her deal with such a harsh treatment,
getting Martin, Ana and Rodrigo together telling the truth, without telling all,
trying to get on with life go to work,
keeping the house in order, trying to keep some kind of peace
and today Clara's here with us,
with her Elis Regina hair style which I find sexy, I really do.
recovered, and healthy
Clara's fine, and we're still together
getting our lives back on track.
I just wanted to say, I understand why some people were absent from this process
that life doesn't give us a manual to deal with these situations, right?
by the presence of those that were here with us,
but this is to give thanks that I have my love here with me
Long live Clara!
Long live Aunt Lucia!
We cherish this great day
May the house you live in
refuge from the storm
Happy birthday
Ladjane!
Yes!
Hey! Hey!
What's for lunch?
I was making
What an annoying door!
I was making chicken
Ah, OK. And do we have any veggies? Yeah, I'll make some.
I'm off to the beach
All right, people, let's go
This is the HA-HA now let it out.
Keep the rhythm!
Speed it up a little, speed it up
Let it out,Paulo. Let it out, Paulo!
That's it!
Let's go, let's go let's go!
Laugh it up, Paulo!
Laughing is serious business
Hey, Thiago, let it out
That's it!
Bring it down a little
Stop!
Laugh!
That's it!
Energy, people, energy!
C'mon, Clara, let's laugh, Clara!
Concentrate
Make yourself at home, there's room for everyone
Respect, everyone keep it up!
Respect, seriousness
Bezerra, where you at?
COPY
Bring the boat over to the Aquarius
Is Dona Clara going in?
Affirmative
Affirmative -Copy I'm on my way.
Affirmative
Hey, Roberval! Don't you think that's a bit much?
No way, Clara. Look at the sea, look!
Nobody's in the water
Go on, take your dip, and come on out.Go on!
We've talked about this
It's because you're important. Who told you to be important?
Would you hold this for me, please?
Clara!
Waist line!
41 years old. Plays perfectly
Well, I'd like to
Start by asking you, ma'am Sorry
You're writing a new book, and I see a lot of physical media here, right?
Vinyl, records, tapes
At a time when digital media is taking over everything
do you only listen to music the old-fashioned way?
No, I listen to music the old-fashioned way
Let's, let's do something shall we?
Can we cut this short, so we don't waste my time, or yours?
I'll explain the way I think generally speaking.
I like everything, alright?
mp3s, streaming
if it's got music, it's good it's important,
And this whole new technology thing
Can I tell you a story? Sure.
There you go. Did you get it?
Well, then
This record, I bought in Porto Alegre at a used record store.
I leant mine to someone and never saw it again.
I opened the record to look Look what I found inside,
this article from the Los Angeles Times -That's awesome.
This article is from November 1980, right?
This album, Double Fantasy, was released in December 1980
So, this article came out weeks before Lennon was murdered
on December 8, 1980
And I was born on December 21, 1980
This article here, published weeks before Lennon was murdered
and before you were born says the following:
This record, this record I'm holding in my hands,
You see?
And you don't know who owned it before?
Didn't I tell you I bought it down in Porto Alegre...
...at a used record store. I don't know who owned it
all I know is it was bought in Los Angeles and ended up in Porto Alegre,
I mean, I'm not even sure it was bought in Los Angeles, actually
and it ended up here
Cool. So, digital media it's fine with you?
This here is like a message in a bottle
-Good afternoon, Ms. Clara. Seu Geraldo, good afternoon
How are you? -Fine
Good afternoon Good afternoon
Ms. Clara, would you let us have a word with you?
It depends
If you're here to discuss my proposal
...for the acquisition of the flat upstairs...
I did send you that proposal, but I never heard from you, what a busy man you are.
Is this the reason of your visit Seu Geraldo?
We are here to talk to you
.a good, eye to eye conversation which is the best thing there is.
We have brought you a counter-proposal.
That's wonderful! This is about the upstairs flat, right?
No, this is about that conversation we had before...
Tihs is about acquiring your apartment.
About selling this apartment? Exactly.
I'm not selling, Seu Geraldo you already know that.
Ms. Carla, this proposal -Clara.
Ms. Clara
-Where were you? I was downstairs sweeping
Ms. Clara?
It's a very generous offer
It's over the market value for this type and size of apartment
but We've made this proposal especially for you.
Let's just get this over with
Geraldo.
My apartment is not for sale I'm not selling.
I appreciate your visiting but I must go.
Ms. Clara
I can see from out here that you've remodeled the apartment
-it looks beautiful. Yes, very interesting
-Thank you. It's in very good taste, congratulations
My name is Diego, I'm head of this project at our company,
which is, by the way, my first project and I'm really proud of it,
and I think it's safe to say that I have great news.
Yes?
And I'm going to tell you why
First of all, the project is now called "Aquarius.
Is he your.. son? Son-in-law? No, no. This is my grandson, Diego;
He's been doing a good job at the construction company
Thank you, grandpa
Did you say "Aquarius?
It's "The New Aquarius
The idea is to keep the name of the building that used to exist in this spot
but now with the new offer, another piece of good news we bring you
The building exists
You're standing there leaning on it.
Wrong way to express myself
See
Now, before I go in and close the door,
tell me something
What was the name of the original project before this "New Aquarius?"
The original project was the "Atlantic Plaza Residence
Yes, that'd be a good name it sounds good, doesn't it?
We much prefer "Aquarius
Well, thank you so much for this
We'd like to point out that we are always open to dialogue.
OK, thank you. Excuse me See you later.
In case you want to read it later on your own, the project
Thank you, Clara
I'll go get some water because I know you're upset, OK?
Part 2 Clara's Love
Alright?
Where are my songs?
On the pen drive?
But you'll transfer them to my cell phone later?
Sure, I'll do that Will you?
Yeah, we'll do that later OK. Did everything fit?
Yeah, that list you sent me fit
and I put some new stuff I think you'll like Yeah? That's great.
So that's how it is now, huh? You Suggesting stuff.
Let me just put it on here just a second,
there it is. Listen to this
You don't know me
I have to shout this, because you're deaf and won't listen to me
Seduction enslaves you
At the end of it all, you remain with me trapped in what I created.
That's funny
And the more I talk about the whole truth -What is it?
Oh, I'm just kinda happy today
Yeah? Why?
This girl I know's arriving from Rio On Thursday.
Oh yeah? She's arriving? What's the deal?
Oh, we met on Facebook
She's a friend of Marcelo's. Remember him? Yeah. I remember Marcelo.
So we met through him
we chatted for a while
we liked each other, and now she's on her way!
Cool! And where's she staying?
At my place
Do your parents know? Yeah, they know.
So, delivery style, huh?
Delivery," aunt
I don't know, we'll see
Love it
Does this beauty have a name? She does. It's Julia.
Julia. Beautiful name I love it.
Look
Do this
play Maria Bethania for her
Show her you're intense
All right, I will
-Good evening. Hey, how are you?
-Fine, fine. Beautiful as always
Thank you, dear
-I missed you.. Son, how are you?
And what is their proposal?
Oh, I don't know, I tore up the envelope
You tore it up?
You weren't even curious to know what it was?
Aren't there any legal maneuvers to make these people leave me alone?
But they came, knocked on your door
asked to speak to you. there's there's nothing illegal there.
Are the other apartments all empty or anyone letting?
All empty
They bought them all. So it's up to them if they sell them, rent them, whatever.
Clara, I didn't want to say anything but I must.
I just think about one thing your quality of life.
That's the only thing I worry about.
The rest is just the rest
Yeah well
You know what I want to do this week?
Come with me, Fatima Oh yeah, I'll come!
Let's go! Yeah! Antonio please let me go
Oh, I guess I'm not going
Did I hear that, "Antonio please let me go"?
Yeah, he has to let me
I thought I was going
Well, well, well No shortage of male dancers there
How do you know so much gossip?
And you share it like it's all true. Amazing.
Girl, the headquarters of Pernambuco gossip?
The swimming pool at the German club.
That's why you're all so tan
The dark skin The tongues, but the poison now. Oh my God!
When I arrived in Recife 10 years ago
I practically married the whole Jewish community
No, honey, no no no no,
you fucked the whole Jewish community.
She's truly generous
I'm a good person!
I felt sorry for them -That's exactly why!
Check it out
Take a look over there, Leandro -Who?
A retired lawyer from CHESF
He was married to Ana Lucia,
who died some 10 years ago. Horrible "The Big C" in her uterus.
Enough with this disease talk
This is a party. Let's talk about happy stuff?
She took everything out poor thing.
And Bento, having an affair with Silvia? They are trying to be discreet.
They're dancing. Don't stare. Be discreet
but I see what's going on
This Silvia is the one who went to our bookstore
to buy three meters of books
because her interior decorator told her to!
Three meters? God!
With brains like that you should've asked, "open or closed?
You told me there'd be good looking men here; I have yet to see one!
Except for that waiter
There are good-looking men -yes, yes there are.
Yes, there are. Where, Clara?
Yes, there are Who, Clara?
I don't know; I'm not giving I'm not giving
Clara, you've got your eye on the guy from Espirito Santo back there, right?
-Who? Which one?
Don't look, people!
And he's got his eye on you I saw it!
I heard he's a widower
He's oh, 60, 65
-He's not my type. He's not your type
What, people? He still looks good. What?
I came to drink
No, that thing we came here to talk about.
Leticia, we need to talk to you Oh, come on, people!
No, we just really, truly want to know, you know?
If everything`s OK and how your professional help is going.
I have enjoyed it responsibly
You want his phone?
No, the it's the boy's
I don't have the guts to get his number.
I don't know never say never
Lucrecia, you wanna know something?
I always figured that if any of us had the guts, it'd be you.
-Me?! Yeah, with your wholesome face
What's the big deal? It's just a man to play with you a young man,
-professional hot... That's good. Professional is good
I like that. Hot is good
Oh, then I'll give you his number No, thank you very much.
Guys, I'm missing the joke this side can't hear!
Don't put off what you can do right now
What is this? A gigolo commercial?
Like those thingies you stick to the...
Do it now while you're still healthy
Would you like to dance?
What a surprise!
Anybody hold on to my phone?
We will keep your phone
I‘ve been living in Fortaleza
You talk real quiet don't you?
Are you here visiting?
I came to spend a few months with my daughter.
She lives here, so I'm here
And your wife?
Well, I'm a widower It's been five years.
I'm also a widow
Yeah
17 years
It's great, really great
Am I going too far?
I had surgery
Breast?
Breast
You're you're great
I'll get a taxi. No, no, I insist. I'll take you home
Thanks, mister
Good night! You can go
I'm here every day; I know what I'm talking about, Clara.
You're fear mongering
It's good to be a little afraid, isn't it?
I mean, I'm not a big fan of this whole fear thing either
I think there's enough fear going around.
But in my line of work, we deal with that, right?
How many times have me and my colleagues
saved people who weren't afraid enough?
People who forgot to be afraid?
Give me a hint, what`s he wearing? -Grey t-shirt, black shorts.
Does he sell weed?
They say it's the good stuff, but he only sells to the rich kids
Expensive bike White boy.
He comes in every Monday and Wednesday, mornings
Afternoons, on fridays
Do you collaborate with the police?
Nope. We're too exposed
This beach is rough
His office is behind the kiosks
Clara
Good morning
Daniel. Daniel?
Son of Jorge, your old neighbors
Hi, Daniel, how have you been? How's your father?
Dad passed away two years now.
I hadn`t heard my condolences Thank you.
I was passing by and thought I'd come over
to ask you to solve this apartment situation
It's hurting so many people
Dad made the deal 6 years ago he died and so far, nothing.
I don't understand Yes you do.
You understand fine You are not stupid.
Everyone moved out of the building, except you
If you really think about it you're being selfish.
Daniel, I‘ve known you since you were a child.
You used to surf on this very beach with my kids
Yeah, you knew me when I was a kid,
but you don't know me as an adult.
Have a good day, Clara
What are those mattresses for?
Gosh!
We hail this great day
that you commemorate today
May the house you live in
Ladjane
You know you can count on me, don't you? I know, I know.
Good morning, Clara
Good afternoon How are you?
What's your name again? Josimar.
Josimar, good afternoon. And you, what`s your name?
Rivanildo. Rivanildo
Good afternoon, Rivanildo
And your name Diogo, right? Diego.
Diego, you brought some mattresses over to the building
Could I possibly know what for, why?
Clara, the apartments may be vacant, but they belong to the construction company
We can bring whatever's necessary for the job.
Right
Could you please move this car? I'm leaving.
Now? Now.
Good afternoon. Good afternoon, Clara
I wrote some things down, you know?
For you
It's easier
It goes like this I have no color
I have no shape, I have no smell and I am weigthless.
When I stink, they call me fart
Lookie here. He was awake
So good to have you here
I missed you, did you know that?
We could set up something at our place, huh? Everybody
What about Marcio?
He's in Brasiilia
Marcio is the one I haven't even met yet?
It's on you, Rodrigo
The rush, you know, Mom. I just haven't had time yet
And you don't have a photo, you don't carry a picture of him in your wallet?
I got one here
Mom wants to give her blessing
You've got to get her blessing, Rodrigo
Tell me something while your brother looks for a picture he can show me.
What's this Marcio like?
Ah, Marcio's a nice guy laid back, from Minas.
It's working out, isn't it?
is
Oops, now I saw one I didn't want to.
This is Marcio. He's from Belo Horizonte
Oh, that's nice
You hadn`t met him either?
I had seen pictures. Not even pictures for me
Now you've seen him, you've been introduced
Thank you
Son, please, come by more, come visit me more often.
Call me. I want to hear your voice, alright?
I'm alive, you know?
Mom, how are you dealing with this situation?
Well, I'm pissed, right?
Don't you think you're stressed out about all this?
No. I said I'm pissed. You're the ones getting stressed out
Well, you tell us what`s going on and we get worried, that's all.
What about those stickers on the doors?
Stickers? What stickers?
On the doors
What doors?
Construction company stickers On the apartment doors.
The company logo's on every door, Mom
Except yours
We thought you had seen them
No the stickers are there but I hadn`t seen them.
Something new every day, one day one thing, the next it's stickers
They must have gone up today
Did you come up this way? The front door.
Are there stickers on that end? Yep.
Front doors and the back doors Well
I'll repeat myself and say something nobody wants to say to you
I think you need to sell this place You'll be saving yourself problems
What problems?
Mother, it's just that
The three of us worry about you alone in a ghost building.
A what building? A "ghost building"?
You have no limits, do you?
Your, shall we say, sensibilities Mother.
You're living in a building that's uncomfortable, old, unsafe, and empty
So when you like it, it's "vintage"; when you don't like it, it's old. Is that right?
You know what? Let's move to the living room And I should say something:
Before you leave, you'll do the dishes Ladjane's not here today.
Let's go Let's go
Changing rooms is not going to solve the problem
He who cooked doesn't wash, OK?
Well, since I'm playing the witch today anyway, let me just ask you something?
Have you at least considered their offer?
Because what they're offering is not the standard market price
The standard is to offer new apartment space.
They're offering cash
That's like an offer you can't refuse
And how do you know all this?
Did they get to you guys?
Not me, no. I don't even live here, Mom
Yes, yes, I even told the boys they came to talk to me.
Did they come talk to you, or did you go look for them?
Yes, Mom, I went. I have every right to try to understand what's going on.
I went to try By the way, the young man seemed to be extremely nice.
So, Aninha, what is their offer?
For this apartment
-Ana Paula... I think it's low
The issue isn't the money is it, Martin?
What do you mean by "this a pause, "apartment."
Ah, Mom, I meant it's that much money
for this apartment That's all I meant.
Well, then, this apartment, the apartment where you all grew up
Can't you see that by going to talk to them, you go over my head
you disrespect me, yes, you set me up as the "crazy lady from the Aquarius".
But that's what happens; you talk to these people, it sets me up as a nutjob, you know?
You guys don't know what it's like to feel crazy without being crazy,
You know what that's like, knowing you're not going crazy
and that the madness is out there, don't you?
You all remember
Another thing that's really crazy around here
is that We're talking about money
I can help you guys any time you want.
I‘ve already said Is it you that needs money, Ana Paula?
Look, Mom, you're probably the person in this room that knows best
now what I'm telling you is that this is not just about money.
I have five apartments,
and there's a legacy that was built by me and your father, that's yours
Oh, please, Mom, it wasn't built by your writing career
Don't say that, for God's sake
What does Dad have to do with this, Ana Paula?
Dad's not around anymore Why are we talking about Dad anyway?
Paulinho da Viola
"There are people with nerves of steel
with no blood in their veins
and with no heart
But sometimes, going through what I go through,
Are you singing for me?
Ana, daughter
|t`S hard, isn't it?
So hard
Now, what you said about my work
that's something you're going to have to learn to deal with.
That's up to you; it's got nothing to do with me
You know? I am who I am
And that's how I raised you. Me and your father, together
Now, everything you're saying and the way you're saying it,
Makes you sound like
like an idiot
Hey, Mom No need for that
Yeah, an imbecile, crazy,
and Dad raised us by himself
But you'd send us those cute postcards, didn't you, Mom?
Aninha, you have no right to say that, OK?
She just called me an imbecile and you didn't say a thing, did you?
Cause sometimes you do get kinda silly.
ALL THE SONGS WE CAN‘T SEE An essay on Heitor Villa-Lobos
"To Martin, Ana Paula and Rodrigo. For the hours of leisure that were taken from you."
I'm sorry, Mother
Come over here
You're so stubborn. You're like an old lady and a child.
That's because I am an old lady and a child
All together
Hello?

do you have a number I could call, in case of an emergency?
Sure
No, no, no, just in case, really
But, like, what? A bodyguard? A life guard?
No, Roberval, it's... it's nothing like that
Roberval, don't listen to anything I say today
That hurts right here, you know?
It's because there was this party at my building yesterday
Yeah, hangovers suck, all right They sure do.
It was good
Clara, don't take this the wrong way, but,
are you hitting on me?
But, you know, there's so much going on in my head this week
but no, no, I'm not hitting on you Ah, OK.
It's all good, Clara. It's just it's good to ask, right?
Where do you live in Rio?
I live in Humaita, Largo dos Le6es
I know it, love Largo dos Leoes! -Yeah? It is nice.
I know it quite well Largo dos Leoes.
You know I have a friend, I mean I had a friend, she passed away.
She lived right there. I love that part of Rio de Janeiro
I like it too. I live on Mario Pederneiras. Little villeage
I know it
Not even the wretched 'cariocas
have destroyed my love for Rio.
Why? You're not into cariocas'?
She's pulling your leg, Julia -I am joking.
Silly, would you imagine? -I get it.
You know what, Julia? Huh?
It's just that I really like this kid you know? He's precious to me.
I think he likes you a lot too Yeah?
Because he's told me all about you.
of his mother in the maternity ward with that little baby in her arms
It just wrecks my dream
Aunt, would you debrief the tourist, please?
Explain to her All right.
Have you played her Maria Bethania?
Maria Bethania?
Why haven't you played?
Weren't you going to play her Maria Bethania? No, that was her idea.
Tomas, Show her how intense you are Check it out, aunt.
Very well. Here well, here`s the divide Over there is Pina.
And here's kinda the divide. You know how in Rio there's Leme and Copacabana, right?
It's kinda the same thing -And where's the divide?
It's right here
On this side of the pipe, they say it's the rich part
and on that side, the poor part
In other words, this way, Pina that way, Brasilia Teimosa.
I get it. Got it?
And Brasilia Teimosa is where we're headed right now.
We're gonna go say hi to Ladjane
She's worked with me for nineteen years.
And last year she lost her son
in a motorcycle accident. He was coming home from work,
and a drunk driver and nothing came of it!
What do you think? Drunk driver runs him over, and nothing happens
That's fucked up
Happy birthday!
I need to talk to you, OK? You look great!
Happy birthday Thank you!
Ah, Tomas's friend, huh? Yes.
From Rio? Yep.
She's good-looking!
Those Rio girls have really got it going!
Oh, Lara, that's so you That's right, though!
Lara is Ladjane's sister
Lara works for Leticia who is my friend,
and Ladjane works for me
Say it woman!
Did Paulo tell you about last night?
No, last night?

Now it's just a car
I‘ve seen people and cars on Facebook.
Like in the past?
People posing as if they were family members?
Yeah. It's different
Her name was Juvenita Juvenita.
Good thing you remembered
How long have you known me, Antonio?
Sixty one years
If I didn't remember I'd go mad all day.
Juvenita, Juvenita. Good thing I remembered!
I think we have enough photos for the wedding video.
-That's all? Well, we still have my own pictures

Isn't this Arnaldo? Adalberto's cousin? -That is Arnaldo indeed.
The funniest person I have ever met.

He graduated in law
That was for you, Filipe

You probably know it
Put it on, let's hear it!
Play it, Tamas
Part 3 Clara's Cancer
Hi, Mr. Pedro! Hello, Mr. Pedro! What's the matter?
Wow, it's hot in here Ladjane!
Look who's here! Mommy'll be right back
What's the matter?
Mom, it was awful I had to send Cidinha away.
You sent Cidinha away
Aw, Mom, she was great
The Super no, the Supernanny loves Pedro.
You sent her away; now you don't have a nanny?
I‘ve got my eye on someone else; have had for a while now; it'll be better for everybody
Mom, I'm, I'm really in a hurry
Honey, did you talk to Armando about this?
Mom, Armando is not part of Pedro's daily life. He doesn't know
Heck, he probably won't even notice the nanny changed, you know?
Mom, here you've got diapers, you've got his food, his book, everything.
Just hand it over to Ladjane, okay?
Cover this one for me, OK? Call me if you need me!
Of course, I'll call, but what's the point? Bye
Where's the ocean, Pedro?
Good morning Good morning
I'm the big bad wolf, the big bad wolf, the big bad wolf.
Three little pigs
No, right? Walls come crumbling down no
Lookie here! Little Red Riding Hood
Little Red Riding Hood Pedro the wolf devours grandma.
Edilene went to the market. When she gets back, I'll have her give it to me.
I can't do that stuff Yes.
But when she gets back I'll have her do it.
Right, now you Sorry, lady!
Hey, mister, what gives? You trying to kill me?
Make way for the baby carriage to come through Good morning!
God is beautiful! He is marvelous to us
God is soverein
What is going on?
Excuse me
I don't know what to say
Did you see what it's like in the garage? Come see!
Ms. Clara
There's something I wanted to tell you
It may be nothing, but I don't think so
Yesterday, after you left to take Pedro for his walk
Yesterday?
If it happened yesterday, why are you only telling me now?
When I got there the matresses were still half burned.
Please tell me what this is
Are you insane? -Stay out of it.
How can you do this in the middle of Boa Viagem?
How are you, Clara?
Fixin' to get better What happened?
Diego, did you have some mattresses burned out here in the yard?
In the middle of Boa Viagem?
No, I didn't. What, that over there?
They burnt 'em. I saw it!
I don't know anything about that
Look, I'll find out who did this and chem them out
You're absolutely right This is not right.
You know there was a party here in the building
And the mattresses must have gotten really dirty.
I know about the party, but I was not aware of any dirty mattresses
Oh yes, there were dirty mattresses.
There was even shit on the stairs
Why are you laughing? Didn't you have the stairs washed?
No, but it's OK, I'm not judging
That's not why I'm here talking to you Here's the thing:
You have so many apartments in this building, right?
You could have had a party in any one of your apartments
But no, you had to throw a party exactly in apartment 8,
which is right above mine, and didn't even let me know
I'm sorry, you're right that's my
I had a lot on my mind I wound up forgetting.
I promise you that any parties I throw or allow here in the building
from now on, I'll let you know beforehand. I'm sorry.
Now, Clara, I see you're painting the facade
without discussing that with the construction company?
We're also part of the condominium
I think we can improve our communication skills
Diego, you play that passive-aggressive type
What's that?
Passive-aggressive
No, Clara, I play the focused type
The determined type. It's that you don't know me
I just got back from the US
I graduated there; I studied business for three years
and now I'm back, ready to fight
This is under my responsibility
and I'm going to do whatever it takes to reach my goal.
You know, "let's get close to Clara let's make contact."
And that didn't happen
Because, you know, you didn't let us in; we were in the hall.
Nobody offered us coffee water, tea...
I wish I had given you a more realistic take about all this.
This building's empty, Clara
The building's not empty I'm here, I live here.
-It's not empty. Yes, but the building's empty
The building's empty and I, everyone at the company is worried
I wouldn't leave my grandmother my mother live alone here.
In Brazil
Where do your mother and grandmother live?
They live in the kind of place where you should live.
even going to say what I'm thinking,
because that leads me to wonder where does your mother live?
You'll excuse me
I'm a polite person, but you really get my goat.
With cameras around the clock with quality, with security.
This isn't working any more, Clara.
I confess I walk in here, I don't even see this building any more
All I can think of is the number of bricklayers, workers, family members
who call me everyday to ask if Ms. Clara has finally made the right decision
so they can all make it to the end of the month a little better off, that's all
Has it crossed your mind that
this project of yours, the new Aquarius will only see the light of day
when you're 50, 60 years old?
That's possible. Maybe
Yeah, your kids
Don't you talk about my kids! Any of them!
Shut your mouth!
Do not talk about my kids!
I'm gonna tell you something
I'm standing here wasting my time talking to you,
but I'm thinking of something, you know?
It's impressive, what people say about the lack of education
and they always refer to poor people
But the lack of manners isn't in poor people.
It's in rich, well educated people like you, you know?
The elite, who think they're elite who think they're privileged,
who don't stand in line you know?
People like you
who took a "business" course, but lack basic human decency
Who have no character, you know? No character.
No I mean, you do have character; your character is money.
Therefore, honey, you have no character
I‘ve told you once I'll tell you again.
I am not kidding
I will only leave here dead!
You don't know me, Clara
But you're right, I would rather listen and respect you
because from where I'm looking,
I can tell you come from a family that fought hard to get to where they did
Right, Clara?
A darker-skinned family right?
I respect you
But you cannot treat her this way
-Long time no see. That was a great cinema
Look
Have you seen this?
It finally came out
Right here
Bad title, horrible photo
It's been ages since we came to Leite's.
Do you know anything about these people?
What I know, Clara
is their advertising budget at the paper
In advertising, honey, they're behind only the state government,
City Hall
and their competitors Pinto Engineering.
They're powerful people
Yeah, but we know that already, don't we?
Diego, the grandson. What do you know about him?
Oh, him. Almost everyone knows about him, because he's vain.
He likes being in the papers he's got a press agent
He's always in the paper. Havent' you been reading the paper?
No, I don't read the paper any more
You are joking. You don't read our paper anymore?
No, I don't read the paper
he's involved in a church
A church?
Diego is my brother Ricardo's godson The architect, you know.
Diego is family
You're being
sarcastic
There's something else, Ricardo
Ricardo has done several projects for the construction company.
He's an architect, it's only natural, Clara...
It's natural and logical
The extension of familial ties to friendly, social circles
Isn't it, Ronaldo? This is so Pernambuco
This is so Brazil
Isn't it, Ronaldo Cavalcanti?
If you're not Cavalcanti you are a ‘CavalCan‘t‘.
I want to ask you something
That girl who came to interview me. Is she family?
Ana Paula?
She's my niece. She's with us at the newspaper
Let's not discuss family because...
you're little brother's involved in some ugly stuff, politically. You see?
Yes, Ronaldo, if they can prove all the accusations, he's in a lot of trouble
I am sorry
Sorry sorry, I shouldn't even have brought it up
How do you put up with it, huh?
I think I'm still in media all these years, because.
a lot of people know I know about too many things
I‘ve seen a lot of things
I have sifted through too much information
I have a feeling you're about to help me.
Very discretely
that, if they were to come to light not in my paper, obviously,
but, if they were to come to light
it would be bad for them
Now, you like it
Alright
Good morning Mrs. Cleide?
That's me, Mrs. Cleide this is my client Clara
Nice to meet you Benedito
Thanks for seeing us, Benedito
The information I was given
is that it's in Allotment 307-D
That's what I am
This is paper sewage
Unfortunately it's there in that mess over there
You're bleeding, ma'am
Hello Look who's here -Where's Pedro?
Pedro Where are you, Pedro?
Here's the football, Pedro

Hi, Ladjane
Getting better with your help
I was handed this envelope, downstairs Had to sign for it.
What does it say?
Notice
Did you paint the facade?
She never noticed I had the facade painted
Mother, I got out of the car, Pedro, bags, in a hurry I didn't
I'll take a look now when I leave.
designated for arbitration
Isn't Cleide your lawyer?
Yeah, she is my lawyer
Give her a call
This probably won't go anywhere but give her a call.
I gotta go
Look, just another week and things‘ll be back to normal.
No problem
Thank you
Ms. Clara!
I don't know if you remember us, ma'am
I remember. You're Josimar, from the construction company
My name is Josimar, but I'm not with the construction company
We left. We don't work for the construction company any more
I thought I should come here and talk to you.
All right, go ahead
I wanted to tell you
I really admire you
I think you're very decent..
I did have a little bit to drink a little bit.
But I didn't drink, and what we're trying to do here is help you, ma'am
I know you're scared
We came to say something for your own good.
Some three, four months ago
You were away
Mm-hmm
And they had us do a job here at your building.
And it wasn't just us, it was everybody from the company
All the workers who were working on the building
And what material was this, Josimar?
You need to open up the upstairs apartments
Over in Block B, that area where the electricity's out
-No electricty. Ten. Apartment ten
Apartments ten and twelve.
But what exactly happened?
Now you go up to those apartments open them up, and you'll see.
Open up those apartments
See what`s in there
We're leaving now, OK? -No.
What did you bring, what did they have delivered, and where?
You're going to tell me right now
Tell her
Ladjane!
Ped ro!
C'mon, Pedro, let's go find Mother
-Ms. Clara. Hello, Roberval
-Thanks for coming, really. It's nothing. I'm here to help
I think we should start around here
Now, Ms. Clara, do you have some kind of warrant, some document?
I'm Clara's lawyer; I take full responsibility
Well, then let's get to it
I'm not going. I'm not going up there. No way
Is this the one?
Is it this one, Ms. Clara?
That's the one
Would you all move back a bit, please?
This will be easy
Holy shit
Ms. Clara, I think it's better if you didn't come in here.
I'm going in
You with me?
The termites were brought here from some demolition.
Would you look at that Bastards...
Holy shit
This one's got more
Yep, it's got more
Ms. Clara, this one's even worse
They brought a whole colony of termites, look
You want me to talk, or would you rather do it yourself?
I'll speak
Good morning, good morning -Good morning.
Fixing to travel?
To what do we owe the honor?
This is my brother Antonio Nice to meet you, Antonio
my nephew Tomas, -How are you?
And this is Cleide, friend and lawyer
Shall we sit?
will be brief
this is about these documents that Cleide and I found
-Can I see, Grampa? Where did you find these, Ms. Clara?
-I You Let me tell you something
-I just wanted to say No, just wait a minute
-Would you like to tell me You only need to know one thing
Would you like to tell me what is the meaning of this? You know why?
Because I'm a well-mannered person, but if I wasn't, I'd kick you out right now
What, over this? -Exactly.
Take a look!
I have the originals
Can I see, Grampa?
This won't go anywhere
There are things that don't go anywhere, but
if it causes you one single headache when I publish these documents
I'll be happy
Ms. Clara, I don't know if it's in your best interests, or in those of your lawyer
to tangle with our legal department
Well, based on the size of your table your legal department must be huge
You people are complete bastards
What is this, kid? You losing your sense of decency?
You think this is, what? You're not at home.
Respect me, or I'll lose respect for you.
-Calm down, Mr. Geraldo. Calm down my ass! Speak!
You're being disrespectful in my own house.
Say it
The second thing
I survived cancer. More than 30 years ago, you know?
And these days, I‘ve been thinking about something
I'd rather give you cancer than having it myself.
Antonio, help me here
What is this, Clara?
Turn off that camera! -Take it easy.
Go ahead, you can film this -Turn off that camera now!
Tomas, keep shooting, Tomas
