The story is about Camila, a young alcoholic woman that writes an internet blog. Her blog seems to have several followers.

She has many relationships throughout the story, all of them pretty troubled. And the sex scenes are rough, in my opinion too detailed, which I found exaggerated.

The acting of Leandra Leal is very convincing and has gave her two awards. She is actress since childhood in Globo Television. After her two most famous performances in "Cazuza" and "The Man Who Copied" she performs her most challenging character and this consolidates her as one important actress in Brazilian cinema.

The total budget is clearly very cheap, as it was filmed in digital cameras and the scenarios are not very sophisticated. The great value of this film is in the artistic way the scenes are shot. There is also quite a poetry influence in the text of Camila's stories which one may find beautiful.

But the movie is not quite entertainer, and does not keep your attention during the whole movie. In fact after so many Camila's relationships you don't differ one partner from other and her behavior seems quite dull.

So if you don't mind watching cheap movies, I recommend it to you because of Leandra's stunning acting and the artistic text that is written on the screen. It happens as people type their text in e-mails or blogs on the internet.
