O Pai da Rita
Roque and Pudim, composers from the old school of Vai-Vai, share a kitchnete, decades of friendship, love for their samba school and a doubt about the past: what happened to dancer Rita, their passion.
The emergence of Ritinha, the dancer's daughter, threatens to collapse this great friendship.
Galeria Futuro

Full of debts and on the verge of bankruptcy, the gallery's management is surprised by a millionaire proposal from a Pastor, who wants to transform the space into an Evangelical Church. The three friends are devastated by the possibility of losing the much-loved Galeria Futuro, but with the help of Paula, a newly arrived shopkeeper, they will create a wild and surreal plan to try to save the Gallery and prevent its sale.
