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 Mr. Z� a little dish - Alright.

Go ahead

Carry on

Mr. Z�?

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!

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. - Mr. 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 Mr. 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, Mr. 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

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 everythings 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, whats 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 hadnt 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, whats 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 hadnt 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 whats 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 hadnt 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

|tS 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

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?

Paulo?

Yeah, it's me

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, heres 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!

Lara is Ladjane's sister

Lara works for Leticia who is my friend,

Gorgeous. Look at your mom!

Like those pictures you see in old picture frames

Antonio this woman here, you remember?

What was her name?

She made the most wonderful food Everybody loved her, remember?

Turns out she was a cunt who stole our jewelry

stole jewelry from Mom

remember? From Grandma

This one took off to Ceara, no one ever saw her since.

We exploit them

They steal from us here and there.

You're right

Tom, what was her name?

- What? - Darlene

Not Darlene!

- How are you? - Everything all right?

The records you didn't get to yesterday are over there

We could go check them out now - Yeah, let's.

My future inheritance. Really? Pull up a chair

- Clara - Yeah?

Hey, Ladjane

So lots of stuff

these from this series in Maria Farinha

Dad?

What's with people posing with cars?

I see so many people here taking pictures with cars.

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

in my mother's house - Oh, I see.

Isn't this Arnaldo? Adalberto's cousin? - That is Arnaldo indeed.

The funniest person I have ever met.

Please, let me see

Did you ever meet Arnaldo? - This one?

He looks so serious

Yeah, but that day he was graduating from law school.

He graduated in law

That was for you, Filipe

What's with the lawyer joke? - Just a silly joke.

I don't get it

Forget about it

You better learn how it works around here.

I might lose a nephew but I won't miss a joke

I love you too, Aunt

I love you too

That's Aunt Lucia

The amazing Aunt Lucia

They don't make em like her anymore

Anybody, more wine? - Yep, I want some.

- More wine? - Just a little

No, thanks

I'd like to show you the photo of my son I carry in my wallet.

Aunt, we'd like to play a song that Ju chose.

IS that OK?

You have a lot of stuff here I could listen to all of it.

Anyway, this record I'm really into it...

..and this isn't even one of his most popular songs...

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

And how's your mother doing 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 whats 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.

- 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
