A road movie that shows the simple things in life in a poetic light through the eyes of three young people with Down syndrome, who love movies and work at the video library of the institution where they have always lived in. One day, inspired by the movie "Thelma & Louise", they decide to run away using the gardener's old car to have a freedom experience. They travel to uncommon places in search for three simple wishes: Stalone wants to see the sea, Aninha looks for a husband and Marcio needs to fly.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Director Marcelo Gomes constructs the narrative not around his characters' condition, but around their human dreams and unfiltered view of the world. He works with the natural, heartfelt performances of the cast, steering clear of sentimentality to craft an authentic, joyful road movie.

What lingers after the film is a sense of gentle optimism and a reminder of the profound beauty in life's simplest aspirations. It's a celebration of freedom seen through a uniquely pure lens. — MovieFinder Editorial
