Light and superficial adaptation of Eça de Queiroz's novel "Alves & Cia" rest all its forces in the talent of Brazilian actor Marco Nanini. The dialogues are a too bit far-fetched and unfunny and the investigation of the social structure of the time - in fact, the great aim of Queiroz novels - is completely lost here. Anyway, it's a good new to see that Brazilian's movies are back in the streets again!
