    uma velhinha meio amarga sem muito o que fazer passa seus dias espionando seus vizinhos... até que, finalmente vê algo novo... e o pior é que ela ainda se apaixona pelo seu objeto de observação... já parece tudo meio fadado ao fracasso, não?
    fernanda montenegro tá muito bem (duh!...( read more)), bem como o raul cortez (duh!²). o que achei diferente nele foi o modo de mostrar a velhice... os dois não são velhos decrépitos que só ficam em casa fazendo palavras cruzadas; são idosos ativos, que passeiam, saem pra beber, dão um "oi" na boate e, oh!, até transam! uma grande evolução.

    Apesar de lento, o filme é muito bem feito e mostra atuações magníficas de Fernanda Montenegro e do já saudoso Raul Cortez.

    Waste of TIME!! Very Weak movie, DO NOT WATCH, if you do end up watching it, side effects may include: Suicide, murder ramapages, road ramapage, any kinds of ways of harming yourself, and many others...
