Largo dos Leoes.

You know l 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

Mrio 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.

Sometimes i think i was pregnant

with Toms and don't remember.

Then, there are those pictures

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 Bethnia?

No.

Maria Bethnia?

Why haven't you played?

Weren't you going to play her Maria Bethnia?

No, that was her idea.

Toms, Show her how intense you are.

Check it out, aunt.

Explain to her

where we're headed.

Very well. Here well, here's 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.

This sewage pipe, the outfall,

this pipe is the divide.

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, Braslia Teimosa.

I get it.

Got it?

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 f***ed up.

Happy birthday!

I need to talk to you, OK?

You look great!

Happy birthday.

Thank you!

Ah, Toms's friend, huh?

Yes.

From Rio?

Yep.

She's good-looking

Those Rio girls have

really got it going!

Oh, Lara, that's so you.

That's right, though!

Lara is Ladjane's sister.

Lara works for Leticia,

who is my friend,

and Ladjane works for me.

Say it woman!

Did Paulo tell you

about last night?

No, last night?

No.

Did you call him?

He came over last night.

That's funny.

I really wanted you to be with him...

But i am, actually, jealous now.

Well, it's too late now,

the deed is done, huh?

Was it good?

Yeah, yeah, it was good, but

you know, i'm still processing it

It was too good.

Was it good?

Was it not good?

Just tell me...

It was good.

So, aside from the party,

your night was good.

It was.

I think it was.

What are you saying, girl?

You think it was?

Happy Birthday!

You were gorgeous, you hear?

Ah, honey, with that wind

They had to make

a lacquer helmet on me!

You noticed, huh?

Not one loose strand!

-But you were gorgeous.

My coffee.

Good morning, Clara.

Hi!

Gonna get me some water, OK?

We're starting up front.

All right.

I bought all that paint you asked

for, it's all in the car, ok?

Good.

Expensive, huh?

Good paint.

Good but expensivel

The job's gonna look good, though.

Come back for coffee laterl

All right, i will.

The men from the

construction company are here.

They're washing the stairs.

Good morning, Josimar.

Good morning, Rivanildo.

Good morning, Ms. Clara.

There was a lot of sh*t upstairs.

Have you cleaned it?

Yes.

You've already cleaned

all that sh*t upstairs?

Yes, Ms. Clara.

Don't worry about it.

Hold on, man

Toms and Julia

are still asleep.

Let'em sleep in.

I sure miss my son.

Filipe, look, i think here there are lots

of pictures of you when you were little

birthday parties,

that sort of thing, naked

when you were a baby

butt naked, right?

That's right, yeah.

Good times, huh?

Mr. Herculano

Who?

Herculano

-Beautiful! Pregnant

-Cool!

Gorgeous. Look at your mom!

This one looks great too.

-Like those pictures you

see in old picture frames.

Antonio this woman here,

you remember?

What was her name?

She made the most wondertul food.

Everybody loved her, remember?

Turns out she was a c*nt

who stole our jewelry

stole jewelry from Mom,

remember?

From Grandma.

This one took off to Cear,

no one ever saw her since.

Yeah, well, it's inevitable,

isn't it?

We exploit them

They steal from us,

here and there.

And so it goes, huh?

You're right.

Tom, what was her name?

-What?

-Darlene.

Not Darlene!

-Darlene Glria.

-Where'd you pull that from, Darlene?

So how's the long weekend?

-How are you?

-Everything all right?

The records you didn't get

to yesterday are over there.

-Right.

-Over there, see?

-We could go check them out now.

-Yeah, let's.

And do you want sorry?

-My future inheritance.

-Really? Pull up a chair.

-Clara

-yeah?

Hey, Ladjane.

Hey, girl!

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.

Cars lost their charm.

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.

He's handsome, Ladjane.

-Thank you.

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...

...but i think it's really beautiful.

You probably know it.

Put it on, let's hear itl

Play it, Toms.
