| Brief Description: | After being stood up by his girlfriend and left alone in a movie theater, a college student, Carlos (Murilo Benicio), begins to imagine what his life will be like in 15 years and how his girlfriend, Julia (Carolina Ferraz), will figure into it. Director Sandra Wernock presents three different scenarios: in the first, Carlos is a divorced, out-of-closet gay man, much to the annoyance of ex-wife, Julia; the second finds Carlos still living at home with his domineering mother and meeting Julia unexpectedly through a dating service; and in the third, Carlos is an unhappily married man whose life changes after running into his old flame, Julia. This thoroughly original story was awarded the Latin American Cinema Jury Prize at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival. In Portuguese with English subtitles.
