Como é Cruel Viver Assim

Known in Brazil for her romantic comedies, Julia Rezende shifts gears in this feature film with a dark Coen Brothers-like drama about 4 friends -Vladimir, his wife Clivia, Regina and Primo- who concoct an outrageous plan to get out of their financial doldrums: to kidnap a millionaire, Regina's former boss. However, They lack experience and the proper "criminal" element in their individual souls. As the plan moves forward, their frustrations, ambitions and fears emerge, often hilariously. (imdb)
