Riscado (2010) - full transcript

What's the importance of luck in life? How much effort and talent is enough to guarantee a solid carrier? Is luck part of the craft? Bianca is an excellent actor but theater doesn't pay the bills yet. In order to make a living, she impersonates movie divas and promotes events. Bianca auditions for a big international production and gets the part. The director of the film, inspired by her work, changes the character he wrote into a version of Bianca. Is this the chance of a lifetime? Craft is a Brazilian independent film, made possible through co-productions and partnerships with companies such as Canal Brasil and Link Digital. This is Gustavo Pizzi's first feature. The film discusses matters such as talent, hope and fate.

Fine.
Were you in there?

Yes.
-And how was it?

Audition...
-Hard?

Weird...

You came for
which role?

Veronica.

Me too.

Really?
-Yes.

Maybe it's everyone
for Veronica.

Veronica? Veronica?
That's it then...

They are going for
every type, aren't they?

It was great.

You made a small confusion...

it was great.
Are you nervous?

Yes, a little bit.

Don't be. Ok?

Now I?m going to ask
you something.

I want to see something
that's related to your life.

Improvise something. Ok?

Another text.
Another text. Ok? Forget this one.

Make something new.

Well.

I?ll talk about the last
show I was in.

Right.

I got depressed
afterwards because...

Thanks.

Ok! No big deal.
It was great.

It's better not to use it, OK?

OK.

It was just to show that...

I can do it. Like this.

Alright...
-is that it?

Thank you.
-You're welcome.

It was great.
Thank you.

This way, Bianca.

You can leave your
bag on that chair.

Walk to the mark
on the floor please.

Here?

Yes.

Show your name, please.

Alright! Big smile!
Your profile, please.

Ok. The other side.

Leave it on the floor
and take your time.

I want to make an honest film.

I?m sorry I forgot to
tell you I am a bit hoarse.

I have pharyngitis.

The medicine is not working yet.

I?m going to sound a bit hoarse.
I?m sorry, OK?

I want to make
an honest film.

A film that has
no lies at all.

Because I have a very
simple thing to say.

And I would like my film
to be a little useful to everyone.

To help us bury all the
dead things we carry.

But I?m the first one not to have
the courage to bury anything.

I want to make a delicate film

with a delicacy that you don't
have to open your eyes wide to see it.

I want to make a film
that talks about me.

Because that's
what I know best.

And talking about me...

I hope it can talk
about everyone else.

Great!
Very good.

Wonderful.

Can you improvise
something for me now?

Can you improvise
something for me now?

I?m sorry.
What?

improvise something.

Anything.

About...
Anything?

Whatever you like.

Something related
to your own life.

is that OK?

Let's...

Can I get something
in my bag?

Sure.

To use...

What's that?

Why this scene?

Because I do
that for a living.

I work at an events company.

I do Carmen Miranda,
Marilyn Monroe, Bettie Page,

several other characters.

Hello, hello, Hello.

How's everyone?
Pedro, Pedro, Pedro.

Good Morning.

Let's do it?

Let's!

Good Morning!

Hello Rodrigo.
How are you?

Everybody happy?

Hi sweetie!
Are you sleepy Julia?

Very!

Pedro, I need
to tell you something?

I told her to lay down.

Go to sleep Julia...

Is that ready?
-Do you want to test it?

Good Morning.
Have you fixed it?

I had a very weird dream.

What?
-I had the weirdest dream.

I had the same dream
I had when I was a child.

Crazy, right?

What was it?

I was at a circus and there
was an elephant at the ring.

I walked in to the ring
to see it closely.

He stepped on me
and crushed me fiat.

I ended up like a cartoon,
turned bi dimensional.

I walked like this.

Make this work.
Call the guy.

You've got to pressure him.
-I?ve already done that.

I want to see things here.

You understand?
Dam it!

I brought 3 pans.

We'll begin in a minute ok?
Just a moment.

We have to work, man.
He has to bring stuff down.

He has to bring the set things.
we don't have much time.

For God's sake man.
Call him! Pressure him!

And I can't come down.

I keep on locking
to the ground.

I can't come down but it's
not comfortable up there.

But I can't come down.

I look to the ground

and the feeling I have
is that if I could go down

I would wish to vanish under it.

That's weird.

My goodness!

Do you have
recurring dreams?

Yeah...
Sometimes I dream

I?m in a forest land under a tree.
I want to climb up the tree

to see the view from up there.

But the trunk is to sleek and
the first branch is too high.

I can't reach it,

but I have the feeling
that if I get to it

I could climb the tree
up very easily.

As if I was going up the stairs.

But I never did.

I always wake up before it.

I had a crazy idea.

Let Stela do it on your place.

Just to try something here.

Ok Rodrigo?

Let's change it just quickly.

Go, go, go.

But I refer to her
as a woman right?

Yes, yes...

Ok!

Yes?!

Hi!
-Hello darling.

Cecilia! I told you about
her remember?

Yes, I do.
-How are you?

Fine and you?
-Fine.

Filipe, the door man
asked me to tell you

they are going to shut
down the water

for two or three days.

Again? Fuck!

in this heat!

Be my guests. would you
like coffee or water?

Some water.
-Me too.

Get us some water Bianca.
For God's sake.

Can I get it?
-Yes. You should!

Sit here Leticia.

Cecilia.

Sorry. Cecilia.

Ok. But come closer to me.

Bianca must
have told you right?

To work here with me,

you must know
4 important things, OK?

Availability. Commitment.
Sympathy and Endurance.

Some people
will be rude to you.

Won't take the flyer...

You have to always insist.
insisting is key.

You will work on your feet
for a long time. Hours.

But with a big smile on
your face at all times.

You must have already
talked to Carlinhos,

about the money
thing, right?

Carlinhos wasn't
in his office,

so we called him and he
said you could see to it.

Really?
-Yes.

But anyway talk
to him afterwards.

You are Bianca's friend?
-She works with me at the company.

Show people too?

Yes.
-Actress too?

Yes.

Ok. Great.

So do it for me.

What?

isn't she an actress?

Yes she is.

Don't you work with Bianca?
-She does.

Isn't she a theater actress?
-I am but...

Give me the water baby,

and do it for me.
Pretend I am a client.

Do I really have to do it?
-Yes.

That sucks.

Do you think
it's just like that?

Life sucks baby.
Come on.

I just make
something up?

Life sucks...

She doesn't need that.
-Yes she does.

Let's go?

Hi, Good evening.
-Good evening.

This is the
Big Blond Blast.

It's a wonderful party for
people who enjoy funk beats.

What?

It's a great party.
Lots of beautiful people...

Hey guys...

No... Big Blond Blast!
I love funk!

I totally dig it!
Got to go!

Lots of pretty
girls there.

Are you coming?

I won't. But then...

That's a pity.
There will be no fun.

It will be fun.
The place is gorgeous.

You are gorgeous.

Lots of beautiful people...
-You are beautiful.

Lots of fun.
-Prettier than you?

Free drinks...

Some people are like
that, isn't that sc?

Some guys are jerks.

You have to understand
that 99% of man are assholes.

Understand?
-I know.

They've even grabbed
Bianca's ass once.

No way. I never worked
in a mini skirt or things like that.

Yes, I was joking.

The guy tried but I went
back and kicked his ass.

What?

Real good gossip.
Really good.

Let's go!
we can go now.

It's an amazing costume party.
Five floors. Several DJs.

Are you Alice?
-No. Bianca.

But you look like Alice.
-Ah! The costume?

A semi dead Alice...

Good Evening!

Maki Guti in Rio Party.

With this flyer
it's R$35,00

and there's Japanese
food all night long.

Take three. Thank you!

Not there.
On the table.

They just did
what you said.

I told them.
The buffet is for free.

And they were like:
what's for free?

Oh my!

Why is Filipe always
bugging me?

You are almost a zombie at work!

Felipe is a nice guy.
-He is not.

Marcia is flirting with him.
-I?m not!

She is his favorite one.

Stop it!
-Flirting with the boss...

I think he's nice.
-Yeah, you bet.

You've got the best fantasy,
why are you complaining?

The best one is Bianca's.

It's a killer!

How are you going home tonight?
-Tonight?

I don't know.

It's going to be a late night.

We didn't talk to him about this.

Let's take a van.
-Let's go together because I?m scared.

The van is OK.
It's very quick.

Ok, we go together.

I?m full.

Was it good?

Did you bring it?
-Home-made.

Did you bring it?
-Home-made.

I had nothing at home.

What?
-I had nothing to bring.

Little by little one fills the pot.
-That's true.

You should do the beer gig
tomorrow.

Some extra cash.
-I?m broke but I?m proud, really!

They pay almost nothing...
You work like a slave.

Hi.
-Hi.

I called you.
-No, you called Carlinhos.

I?m Bianca.

I want you to go to the
kitchen and get the cake.

Bring it with
the candies ill.

Sing Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday, right?

Yes.

Read the note
and go away.

Alright!

Would you like me
to read the note

with an accent as if I was
American or not?

You do it the way you like.
-Alright.

I don't want...

Don't get too close
to daddy.

Sitting on his lap,
kissing him...

touching him...

My mother is an old lady,
she might get embarrassed.

You don't take off
your clothes, do you?

I?m not a hooker.

I?m an actress.
You don't need to worry.

No...
I didn't mean that...

I understood
what you meant.

You should have
chosen something else

because Marilyn...

I do Carmen Miranda, Bettie Page,
several others.

I?m very professional
by the way.

Alright then.

Could you pay me now?

Oh yes.

Here it is.

Cash it on Monday only
as we agreed, OK?

May I start?

Give me five minutes.

I want to take pictures
of everything.

You look great!

Blow the candies,
blow the candies...

Sorry, I had started
a roast beef,

I asked the girl,
but she's spoiled it.

I like it with of orange
juice and she didn't put it.

Are you eating now?
-No, no. Stay here.

I asked her to do it now.

Is your mom well?
-Yes.

Long time no see her,
is she coming?

No she is working a lot...

She works... She should
take some days off...

You are very late Bianca...

Really late.

I have to talk to you about it,

because the next rent
is almost due now.

Are you going to pay
for both months?

No just the past due one.

And you are
going to be late again?

No I?ll pay it on time.

Please.
I have all my bills.

I think everyone one
has to be more...

More committed to things.

Be responsible
for what you do.

Mom is taking
a lot of medicines.

They are very expensive.

Is she Alright?
-Yes, yes. She is old.

At that age you have
to give them medicine.

She has pains
God knows where...

I like your mother a lot.
is she coming?

You said she
is not coming?

She is working...
-I like her a lot.

I wanted you to know
that because of her, and of you

I saw you
in your mom's belly

I make you this price,
that is almost...

it's less than half
of what that apartment is worth.

That area is very valued.

And I?m always
in debt with people.

And what's my excuse?

My tenant, she likes to...

She has a work that
is not an occupation.

She likes to do her stuff.

When you are
a certain age

you may dream.

You must dream.
it is important.

Then wake up.

I wanted to ask you this.

Because it makes me sad.

I didn't want to talk
to your mother.

is she coming to town?

No she is working a lot.

You see?

She works a lot and you
are here doing your thing.

I work a lot too.

But then what?
Talk to the people there.

Maybe they are under
paying you.

Do you think you get
what you deserve?

Efigenia, you are totally right.
I?m wrong.

I know you are paying.
There's no right or wrong.

You know sweetie.

How can I tell the mechanic
I?m wrong and not pay?

It's a commitment.

We have to have it.

So see if you can get it
right the next time.

I would really like to help.
-I?m sorry. You are so right.

Can you give me a receipt?

Sure.

I don't want to
take your time.

A green wallet.
Good idea.

Very cute, isn't it?

Two Reals.

You paid two Reals
for this wallet?

Where do you find
such cheap things?

Downtown.

It's beautiful.
it goes with your...

Next time
I?ll bring you one.

It's a party.
Maki Guti in Rio.

ACTRESS

Code 31. Can you take
a look at the chart please?

See if this number is correct.

We can only give this information
from the 16th on.

Excuse me.

Good afternoon.

I?m looking for
Mr. Constantino.

It's me.
May I help?

Good afternoon Mr. Constantino,
I have a delivery for you.

For me?
-Yes!

I?d like to ask for a round of
applause for Mr. Constantino,

the newest retired man
of this institution.

You may open it please.

Mr. Constantino,

I was ordered
to inform you

that unfortunately
from now on

you?ll have
to wear an uniform.

The Pajamas!

Take a look at those
fine pajamas!

Your work mates will
miss you a lot,

and they wish you,
an honored and honest man,

tirelessly dedicated to work

a retirement filled
with rest, trips,

joy, cards games, but specially,
Mr. Constantino,

lots of parties!

Party time!

Congratulations,
Mr. Constantino!

Thank you very much!

Party time!
Where are the drinks?

Open bar!

No thanks.

Enjoy the party!
Have fun!

Good bye people!

Bye Mr. Constantino!
Congratulations!

Constantino! Constantino!

Speech! Speech!

I?m very thankful to all of you.

You've helped me a lot.

You may put your
things down.

It's beautiful here.
wow!

I live right up there.

Really? Nice.

Would you like
some coffee?

Yes...

Sit down.

Look...
-Sugar or sweetener?

I?m on a diet.

It seems a lot.

But mostly they are
just small references.

What is important is marked.

You are going to see
a bunch of characters

that Thomas thinks
are related to the work

but he is using a lot of the
things you told him.

Your life stories
of working with pamphlets

on bars and on the streets

and Marilyn, your impersonation
of Carmen Miranda.

He wants to include
all that in the story,

so he is going to put
your things on the script.

Really?
-A good deal of it.

How nice!

The character, in spite of
all these references,

is practically yourself
right now.

It's like as if he wanted to,
I don't know...

Drag you inside the camera.

As if he wanted to make a study
about you, about your world.

An advice for you:
Enjoy it a lot.

Of course.
I?m very excited.

I can hardly believe it
to tell you the truth.

He was very inspired by
the things you told him.

That's crazy...

Are you anxious?

I am! I want to start
as soon as possible.

It's going to be good
to watch those films.

Take it easy, that's just how it is.

You just have to
dedicate yourself.

Completely...

Think about it.

It's a chance of a lifetime.
-Absolutely.

Would you like some cookies?

No thanks.

Don't you like those?
-No, I?m having a tooth problem.

is this your house?

I stay here every time I?m
in Rio and I work here as well.

But my permanent
residence is in Paris. 18eme.

But I come and go
all the time.

I don't know Paris.
it must be amazing.

Yes. Fantastic.

But here, this house
is delightful.

It's also great to work.

There's an editing
room here.

An editing room?
So you do everything here?

Yes I stay here all the time.
Great.

Perfect. Perfect.

I?m very excited about your audition
I?ve watched it a million times.

Loved it.
Everything you told me.

The character will be amazing

I want your opinion
on everything.

I know that's not
an ordinary process,

but I want you to be with
us from the beginning.

Mauricio told me
you wanted

to know more about my life.

I?ve already e-mailed
him some things.

Maybe he has
already shown you.

I make some videos
with my camera.

I make them for me
on ambition...

but I brought them for you.

I don't know,
maybe they are useful...

This is for me?
-Yes.

Great. May I open it?
-Sure, please.

It's like a gift...

I just made it look pretty.

Nice.
- it's just a DVD.

They are from different phases,
since the first ones.

Everything I have I put there.

I don't know if it's going to
be useful anyhow, but at least...

These are the things I do...

I don't know if it interests you,
but if you want to...

I?ll watch it...

You tell me later...

Here is cur script.
-Great!

What we have so far.

I?m going to change it
a million times

until we start shooting
and even after.

I?m always working on it.
-Can I keep it?

Yes.

It's just for you
to understand

what I want
to talk about.

OK?
-Sure. I?ll read it all and fast.

You are going to love Sara.

I can't wait to meet her.

You are going to love her.
She is an amazing woman.

I think I?ve seen all
that she is in,

that is available in Brazil.

I think she is amazing.

She is unbelievable.
A monument.

But she is coming beforehand,
so we can meet, right?

Sure, sure.

You are going to rehearsal
it's going to be very smooth.

We are going to work a lot.
There will be no problem.

Thomas? Sorry.

It's from France. Antoine.

Oh, Antoine!

So, see you soon.
-I loved the coffee. Delicious.

You did?

I chose the beans myself. it's a blend.
-Really?

Antoine? How are you?
Just a moment.

Give a bit of the coffee to Bianca.
-The last one?

Do you like working with him?
-I do...

You said I do, like...

Darling, who likes to work?

I like working.
-Don't you?

I don't like working.

Do you really like working?

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.
Depends on the work.

If it's something I like doing.

I wasn't born to work Blanca.

It's enough.

No I?m going to fill
this to the top.

There's a lot of coffee here.

Then you will be very
alert for the shootings.

No, I? going to drink
this reading the script.

He never gave me
even a lump of sugar.

It's a joke. I?m kidding.

For God's sake.
-Thank God.

There you go.
-Great!

I?m going to let you work,
I?m disturbing you.

No, not at all.

What's that?
Saint George?

Yes, he is killing
the dragon.

What a handsome
Saint George.

He has a little moustache.

He has blue eyes,
hasn't he?

Don't all saints
have blue eyes?

It's great!
what does it say?

This monster won't stop me!

It's a superhero Saint.
-A pop Saint George.

PATH

I?m going to tell the coachman
not to deliver any horses.

It's easier for a camel to pass
through a needle hole,

than a rich person enter
the kingdom of heaven.

That's how
it is Miss Julia.

And now I?m leaving.

Alone.

Good bye.

Devil woman.

All because of a bird.

Forget the bird.

Do you see any way out?
Any solutions?

No.

What would you do if
you were me? This?

I think so.

But pay attention:
I wouldn't.

But I want to.

I just can't.

I need you to want it.
if you tell me to, I?ll do it.

I don't know. I can't.

I couldn't give you any orders.

It's the damned
servant inside me.

If Mr. Count came in
right now and told me

to cut my head off
I would do it.

So you pretend
you're him and I?m you.

So, you have never seen
an hypnotist at the theater?

He tells the person to get the broom,
the person gets it.

He says sweep and
the person sweeps.

I?m already sleeping.

Here's a broom.

Thank you.

Now I?m going to
take a break.

Congratulations!

Are you happy?

After all that work.
it was great!

Very beautiful.
You were beautiful.

Congratulations.

I?m very moved.

I?m so happy you came!

I loved it!

I started liking theater
again just because of it.

Stop it Mauricio.
Bullshit.

This is Joana.
This is Bianca.

Nice to meet you.
Congratulations! Beautiful.

Joana is helping us
with the script.

I loved it.

We are going cut for drinks.
Want to come?

Sorry, I can't.

Go if you want, Joana.

I?m crazy busy.

With the film?

Early day tomorrow.
Another time then.

OK.

It was amazing.

Let's make a toast!

Cheers! Success! Success!

Look in the eyes...

Thank you guys!
Thank you!

You can't make a toast
without looking in the eyes,

otherwise...

Seven years of
sexual bad luck.

Who said that?

She made that up
and we are spreading around.

Slow down...

I?m dragging myself.

I can see it.
Did you drink too much?

No... no.

We worked our asses off.

This show was too much work.

But I think it was worth it.

Did you like it?

I think it was amazing.

It's been a while since I?ve
seen a premiere like this.

That's great.
I saw your face, I got happy.

People were turned on!
Everyone was like that!

They didn't move.
it was...

That's good to know.

It was great.
You were beautiful.

You nailed it!
You were...

It's you.

No you!
-You directed me.

No it was you!
Congratulations! Genius!

We could have a good
audience from now on.

Do you think there will be?

Ah! War!

Some money could
come in, right?

Yes it could!
it would be very good.

Have my own place, you know?

I don't know...

We work a lot.
it's heavy duty.

I wish I had a car...
Had something.

I?m already
doing what I like.

It's not much to ask, right?

Oh my God!

I don't even know
how to drive.

I wish I had money
to take a cab.

I wish I could just
call one at any time.

Follow that car!
-Take me home!

Let's get this one.
-It's taken.

Let's walk, we are
almost there.

Tell me about the film.
How is it going?

It's going great.

Are they nice?

Yes. He is very
considerate.

intelligent, and willing to...

what I?ve read so far
is very beautiful.

They like you, don't they?

Ah Oscar, I think they do.

This project sounds very good.

It is beautiful.

That's amazing, huh?

And there's still Sara.
Think about it.

Very good!
-I?m crazy about this.

I want to meet her.
I?ll go nuts when I meet that woman.

Sure! You are going to learn...

Let's drink some more.
Let's have a beer.

The last one...

So tell me Thomas?

How does it feel to shoot
again after 2 years?

It's been great.

Shooting in Brazil has
been an unbelievable experience.

Tell me about
your expectations.

What are the expectations
for the Brazilian public?

It's huge. it's a cc production
between France and Brazil.

It's been amazing! The exchange
between both crews is wonderful.

They are great!

Darling! How are you?
I?m glad you came!

Come here.

Look guys, this is my
discovery.

Look at that!
-This girl is amazing.

Bianca. She is the only
Brazilian actress in the film.

What a huge responsibility!

Yes. Bianca Ventura.

How are you doing Bianca?
I?m Fabricio.

Hello, hello.

Let's put a microphone on her.
Please.

Do you want me to talk?
-Sure!

Really? -Of course.
-Ok then.

Yes it's my first work
in cinema.

I?m very excited, indeed.

Tell me, how does it feel,
right on the first work,

getting a lead
along with Sara Mailman?

It is amazing! But we've
been working a lot.

Working on the script.
A lot of research.

We've seen some locations so,
that's helping me a lot.

That's great. So you've
already started a while ago?

Yes, we are already working.

Thomas, when do you
start shooting?

I?m going to France,
to see some locations

and do the pre production.

As soon as I come back,
we start shooting.

Wonderful. You are going
to start in Brazil?

Yes.
-Very good. I think that's it.

Thank you
very much Thomas.

I thank you.

Nice to meet you.
-Good luck!

Thanks
-Thanks everyone.

Let's go check cut the location?
-Yes, yes.

Sorry. Is Ventura with two Ts?
-No, just one.

Ok, thanks. Good bye!

Let's ask them to take cut
the microphones so we can go.

It's pretty near.
-We have to run.

You were great!
- was it good?

Great!

Do you have a light?
Hey girls!

Light!
Do you have a light?

Hello!

Hi Filipe.

Hi darling.
Aren't you dressed yet?

Go change,
the girls are all ready.

I tried to call you.
i can't do it anymore.

I?m doing another work
and I?m very busy.

And you
tell me now?

I tried to call you,
even left a message.

Of course you didn't call me.
-Yes I did.

My life is basically
answering the phone.

But you didn't answer me.
-Ok. Alright.

Where is the costume?
-Here?s.

Do you have a light?

I?ve washed it Filipe.
It's clean.

And what's this Bianca?
-It was already like this.

I don't know about that.

That's part
of the costume.

OK. Shoes?
-No, the shoes were mine.

I?ll have to check
that with Carlinhos.

Be my guest.

Oh! Fuck it Blanca.

Does anyone have a pretty
friend to replace Bianca?

No need to be an actress.
if she is a little cute, will do.

Filipe!

Anyone?
-Julia.

Does she live nearby?

Fuck! Inner city!
Another one.

Filipe.

I have a friend that
lives in Copacabana.

Just a moment.
Get me her number.

Yes?
-Could you pay me then?

That is not what we agreed.

Of course it is.

You don't pay me for today.
-Ask the girls.

But for the rest.
-That's the money.

That's not what I?ve agreed.

Who did you talk to?
-To Carlinhos.

So ask him for the money.

I have nothing to do with it.
I?m the one who pays,

you have to talk to me.

Filipe, my life is
all organized, understand?

I have my bills to pay.
-Me too honey.

Girls, the number.
-2527-4927.

She is not fat, is she?

She has to fit Bianca's clothes.

Bye guys.
-Bye.

Hello?

Hi! How are you?

I?m great! And you?

Really? Tell me, what is it?

As an extra?
I?m not doing that. No.

I?m rehearsing a movie!

Yes!

What?

No, I have a role.

Yes. I swear!

It's been great!

But look after that,
you keep on calling me for work.

Call me for
other gigs, OK?

Alright honey.

Good luck.

Kisses. Bye.

This one!
It's the Sara scene.

Yes...
-We haven't read this one yet.

You've changed it.

Yes we did.
I have completely forgotten.

Look what I found in Paris.

No!
-Yes!

Amazing!

How do you say that?

What?

The Man of
the Brazil Wood.

Did I say it right?
-Pretty right.

Bois means wood?

Yes, wood. Timber.

Timber.

I?ll leave it here ok?

Sequence 32. interior.
Bathroom in a restaurant. Night.

Veronica is finishing
her make up

when a woman, who hired
the performance, comes in.

Hi darling, it's like I told you.

You go to the kitchen,
get the cake

and come to the table
with the candies ill.

Ask them to turn down
the main lights first.

Bring the cake,
and sing Happy Birthday.

I?m sorry.

The woman tries a possible
American accent.

The Happy Birthday, right?

Read the note and leave, OK?

Would you like me to have
an accent as if I was American?

Great!

Do as you like it.
I don't mind.

But look,
don't grab daddy, OK?

No hugging,
sitting on his lap, kissing.

It's going to be hell if mommy
gets upset with the surprise.

They don't even
go to the theater...

Mauricio, less interpretation.

Because of this
"interaction" thing.

You don't take your
clothes off, do you?

I?m not... Sorry.

No, that's correct.
Veronica jumps in quickly.

I?m no hooker,
I?m an actress.

You may relax I won't
even touch your father.

OK. Until there.

It was great,
very good.

I just don't know.

Hooker. I think is a
little too much. No?

Yes, I agree.
I feel it's a bit heavy.

What if we change the word?

Take off the word hooker
and put... what?

Stripper?
I?m no stripper.

OK guys, let's think.

I can just say...

You may relax, I won't get
even touch your father.

After that line
I would get up.

When he says he is
on top of the column.

You are sitting here, then
you start to get up, slowly.

It's ok. It?s ok...

We?ll hold it for you.
Find a comfortable way.

You?ll get used to it. Seems
Feels like failing but you won't.

Shake it but don't break it.

Find your own way.
Let Rodrigo help you. Go on...

Come on.

Do you already know it by heart?

Sure...

You are very weird.

Maybe, but you are too.
Everybody is.

It's all like a sinking
mud going down,

underneath the ground...

It's funny...

I have a recurring dream.

I?m sitting on top of a column

and I keep looking down

I crave to go down,
but I can't.

Sometimes I want to
climb a tree

to view the whole landscape

and to catch the
golden eggs' nest.

I struggle to go up
I try to climb, but...

Keep on going. Do it
again for you to grab it.

Do you have a recurring dream?

Talk to them.

I?ve...
-Talk to the film people.

She'll make it.

She won't be like you.

She won't.

It's your group, your people.

Something you did. You invented.

Talk to them
they will understand.

Do you want me
to talk to them?

No, that's not the
point Oscar.

This tour invitation
came after the film.

I had already
committed myself to them.

We are already working.

But we?ll make money.
-I can't leave town.

But we've made nothing here.
We?ll get some money.

I know...

We could plan a trip
for us afterwards.

Do something nice...

See places. Have fun.

You do it so well.
She won't be as good as you.

Ok.

It's all right.
The movie will be great for you.

Let it be. I?m sorry...

She became a character.
What does that mean?

That she is better or more
interesting than others?

She has merits. She could not.
We know that happens.

But it's not her qualities.
it's not her looks.

She was signed by the media
and became a character.

Now she is visible,
she achieved visibility.

Now she is a character,
she is interesting.

Everybody talks about her.
She is. She exists.

She is on screen,
so she is somebody.

She could be a nobody
but now she is somebody.

Oscar, go lay on my bed.

Or you will wake up all crooked.

Alright...

Come on...

what a crazy cab driver.

For Christ's sake.
why such a rush?

They are always
like that.

It's wonderful here.
-Do you like it Thomas?

Love it!

You know crazy places,
don't you?

I used to rehearse here.

Underneath the pock there's
a kind of a ballroom.

No way!

We've rehearsed a play
here for six months.

Really?
A ballroom under it!

It's such an Armageddon sight.

How did they build a pace like that?
Suspended over the hill.

I got to see it filled with water.

Did you swim in it?
-No, it was just for the residents.

What is that?

I have no idea.

What are those mountains?
-That's the God's Finger.

Yes, you can see the mountains,
there's the sea.

Wonderful, amazing!

I?m glad you like it.

Hand me the camera.

Let's shoot the banana
dream sequence here?

Yes.

The Carmen scene?
You are doing Carmen scene here?

Yes I will.
-Great!

Just a moment.

My God! You are beautiful!

Almost too beautiful.

What?
-Nothing.

The wind is blowing my skirt up.
-A real Marilyn.

isn't it pretty?

Yes.

Those strawberries
are great!

Yes, they are great.

So, I need you to
make me a reference video

of Bianca's
Carmen Miranda.

For the art department,
for the whole crew.

An old Carmen film?
To edit it?

No. With her.
With Bianca.

Get Bianca,
call some musicians.

Some metals. Trumpet, trombone...
-But Thomas...

A tuba... we got to have a tuba.

These gigs don't
happen every day.

They are hired.

Get the camera,
call Bianca...

For when?
-She must know some musicians.

For sure she does.

So, call the musicians,
the metals

shoot this scene
and send it to me.

But Thomas we have
to pay the musicians.

An actor will
receive later

but musicians have to
be paid right away.

When they play at a drugstore
opening, for example,

they get paid right there.
So they play.

They don't work for free.

I know, but I can't use
the budget yet.

If you ask Bianca,
she will pay it herself.

For her it will
make a difference.

If you pay it, you can
get it back later.

When the money is available.
-OK, ck.

Do you really need this?
-Of course.

We need it.
The film needs it, not me.

Make a video...

I?ll pay for it, but keep
all the receipts, right?

Get receipts for
everything.

Get all the receipts.

Now, for the last time.

I need you to solve
my Paris flight thing.

I called them three times...

Didn't you hear
me talking to Claire?

I don't know.
what I know is that...

I called her today.
-I?m not flying coach.

I?ve been calling.
-That's the game they play.

They are reluctant.

It's a political game,
they say they won't.

She said the same thing now...

Tell them I?m
only flying first class.

Do I tell them that if it's not
first class you are not going?

Sure, sure.

If she tells me
it's not possible,

I say that it's impossible
for you to go?

You are not going?

I?m only going
there to work.

If I have to get there destroyed,
exhausted...

Then there's
no use to go.

I?m going to work,
to deal with a lot of stuff...

Thomas is only
flying first class.

Exactly.

Mauricio?

Come in! Come see it!
-Excuse me.

It's wonderful!
-Really? Do you like it?

My God!
That's so much fun!

You look great!

Do you like this skirt?

Those pineapples...

it's a lot of different
cheap fabrics...

They make a nice effect.

I have this other top too.

That one is great.

Maybe it's better
for the camera.

The golden ruffles are great.

The turban is also golden.

Is it OK for us to be here?
Won't they mind?

I?ve worked here a million times.
They know me.

He?ll give me the key so
we can leave our stuff here.

You can leave your
bag here, if you like

We?ll take the key.
-I will.

Everything is failing
apart here.

Look. I?ll put those
flowers on my head.

Bianca, thank you so much. Like this.
it will be like a crown.

It's great.

Thank you. if you
didn't help me with that

I don't know what
I would have done.

You don't have to thank me.
Doing this is what I want.

It's better than if
we had it custom made.

So, I?ll start the makeup.

And the musicians...
-I wonder if they are already there?

I?ll give them a cal;.

And the tuba?

Did he say: I want a tuba?

He did!
Exactly like this.

I think it makes sense.
-Hello?

H;! Mr. Jurandyr.

It's Mauricio.

No we are on our way.

And the tuba?

Oh! Thank God!

No... thank God!

We are on our way.

Bye!

So there's a tuba?
-Thank God!

I hope he is good.

I?m giving them the song
at the last minute.

Don't you know him?
-Not this one.

He told me the tuba
I know was busy.

But everything will
be all right. I?m sure.

I told them it was a "marchinha"

and when we get
there I?ll give them the song.

Just to look at you
I know it will be all right!

Oh my God!
There are a bunch of necklaces.

I?ll finish the make up
and then we can go.

Wait! Wait!

Come on! Come on!

There's no rush, they can wait.

Come on!

Are you all right?

Watch out!
You are going to get hurt.

Blanca, wait!

Run!
-I?m not used to it!

Come on!

Everybody is looking at us!

Come, come, come!

Watch the red light
for God's sake.

No! Send them kisses!

You are very discreet.

You are going to
have your nails done!

No, I woke up and
came to work in the office.

Wearing something trivial.

I want to do like this
in the middle of the street.

We?ve to the bus!

I think it's right there,
we told them to be.

What are you telling me?

It can't be.

But it's not possible.

It's not possible.

What are you telling me?

Pay attention Antoine! No!

You are listening to me now.

You are going to
listen to me now.

You are going to throw
all we've worked

on for years in the garbage?

But it's her story Antoine!

It's her story,
don't you understand?

;... I don't understand.

It's not possible.

It's impossible!

What you asking me is impossible.

It is exactly the opposite of all
we've worked for all these years.

OK...

it's just a few days of fun

it's a long year, with no plans

ifCarnivai should last ionger

I don't know what I could do

if Carnival lasted a month

I?d live on the streets for good!

Hello? Hi Thomas!

We're shooting it right
now! It's beautiful!

What?

But... what about
subtitles?

Weren't we going to
use subtitles?

So, we get someone
to dub her.

We are in the middle
of the thing.

But then, she can learn French.

Put her in a private class.
She can learn it.

What now?

Why don't you come here
right now and tell her that.

Tell that to her face!

Cut!

People!
it's great, it's wonderful

but the extras with the
bananas at the right beat.

I need you to lift the
bananas at the right beat.

More enthusiasm,
more joy.

More happiness.

Let's go?
Let's do one more.

Lily! Very good.
it was very good.

Let's go.

Playback. Sound.
Camera. Action!
